The theme of this month's Community Call is citizen science. We’ll be joined by Ellen Jorgensen who is at the leading edge of the do-it-yourself biotechnology movement,which brings scientific exploration and understanding to the masses.
Despite criticism that some research should be left to the experts, the Brooklyn-based lab continues to thrive. Amateur and professional scientists conduct award-winning research there on projects as diverse as identifying microbes that live in soils atmosphere and (Jorgensen's own pet project) DNA-barcoding plants from Alaska, or to distinguish between species that search for alike but may not be closely related evolutionarily.
