The first national citizen science conference will be held at the Shine Dome in Canberra on 23rd and 24th July followed by a day of free workshops at Questacon on Saturday 25th July. See the Australian Citizen Science Association website for all details: www.citizenscience.org.au

Everyone is very welcome and it will be a great chance to see what is happening in citizen science here and internationally and to meet people from across Australia who want to work together.

Call me for any further information you would like. I am hoping a number of people will come for the "BioBlitz" workshop on Saturday where we will be launching the Australian BioBlitz Guide with many references and images to the BioBlitzes we have held here and the contributions made by many of you.
