Book Publication: Journeys in Science
Our team is thrilled to announce that our first book Journeys in Science: Inspiring the Next Generation has finally been published by Elsevier! The book was authored by our co-directors Fanuel Muindi and Jessica Tsai.
It has been quite a journey since the writing started a little more than 2 years ago. This first book does not contain stories that are currently published on the website. The aim of the first book is to introduce the idea behind stories in science. It is the foundation which the authors will continue to build on. In fact, work is already underway on the 2nd edition which will include select stories currently published on the Stories in Science website. The database continues to grow!
There is still a lot of work left. We need your help in growing the database! Please continue to tell your networks about the project!
CSML's mission is to document the diverse practices of civic science to inform, educate, and inspire current and the next generation of practitioners in the field, and the broader publics. Through the practice of ethnographic civic science journalism, the lab offers practitioners a sandbox for experimentation—using video, digital publishing, and audio—to surface and make sense of the knowledge, lived experiences, behaviors, motivations, and responsibilities that shape civic science.
