Yesterday we had our citizen science café! It was a lot of fun and quite successful. Even though we had less people than I would have liked (we had approximately 10 people; I was hoping for at least 20, if not 30), the discussion went over well. Almost everybody participated in the discussion after the documentary, and the small number of participants kept people from interrupting each other.
The documentary is now in post-production. We interviewed two participants in addition to filming the entire event.
We are currently going through the surveys that the participants gave us.
I thought the event was quite enjoyable – as did many of the other participants – and I would like to have more in the future. Maybe the Macaulay chapter of Global Medical Brigades would be interested in doing one about health or a similar topic, which could be a fundraiser for them as well as an interesting event.
