Every week, Caren Cooper’s Coop’s Citizen Sci Scoop delves into relevant citizen science topics. During a recent trip to Italy for a citizen science summer course, Caren discovered the challenges of communicating about citizen science. While the definition itself is open to interpretation, the word “citizen science” is also not a universally-known term. In the spirit of citizen science, Twitter was crowdsourced for translations, and nine different ways to say citizen science were summarized.
Caren ended the blog with the following question:
Do you know of the use of the term citizen science in other languages? In which languages does it translate? Where does it not translate?
