Although Science fanboys and fangirls seem to be everywhere these days, and TV shows like The Big Bang Theory and Cosmos continue to gain loyal and enthusiastic viewers all the time, the sad fact is that Science illiteracy is still a large problem in the US affecting the way we vote and ultimately hindering progress and innovation. BUT ALL IS NOT LOST... Meet Michelle Anne Luebke, CUNY Instructor and Environmentalist, and one of the dedicated organizers of this years TEDxJerseyCity Brave New World conference. Here is her encouraging talk on Citizen Science which she gave at last years TEDxJerseyCity conference. Michelle convincingly demonstrated that, when you combine Science Education AND community engagement, even an average person like you or I CAN learn the answers to big and small Science questions, and we can even effect community and world-changing progress. youtube/watch?v=RvWEOVuBttQ
