    Region 4 of the Network of the National Library of Medicine invites you to join us for our free webinar next month. 

    • Topic: How Libraries Can Help Address Complex Health and Research Challenges
    • Date & Time:  Monday, July 14, 2025 at noon PT/1:00 p.m. MT/2:00p.m. CT/3:00 ET
    • Session Length: 60 minutes
    • Guest Speaker: Darlene Cavalier, founder of SciStarter and faculty member at Arizona State University
    • Description: Libraries are rapidly emerging as vital hubs for participatory scientific research. Nationwide, they are lending low-cost scientific tools, distributing citizen science kits, hosting public research programs, and equipping staff and volunteers with foundational training in citizen science. By mobilizing community participation, libraries have the potential to advance biomedical and health research through crowdsourcing while addressing critical challenges in data storage, sharing, and archiving. This presentation will define citizen science, showcase the involvement of over 1,000 libraries as research facilitators, present a case study on a biomedical project utilizing library infrastructure, and explore how libraries are uniquely positioned to overcome key data management barriers in participatory research.

    Registration is required.  Please note: You must be a NNLM member to register (it's free!). Can't join us live? Register anyway to receive the recording after the event. Please reach out to region4@nnlm.gov with any questions you may have.
