Do you participate in or lead a participatory science project? Do you study how they work? Are you interested in learning more about participatory science happening in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area? If so, this meeting is for you!

A regional meeting of the Association for Advancing Participatory Sciences (AAPS) will convene on Friday, May 24, from 3:00pm to 5:00pm at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History at 10^th & Constitution Avenue, Washington, D.C. Join us for an afternoon of posters and five-minute lightning talks highlighting participatory science projects throughout the region. The event is free and open to everyone. There are no requirements for attendees and participants to belong to AAPS or any other entity. Everyone is welcome. The only requirement is to register, which helps us plan the space and refreshments.
