Award-winning writer and environmental thought leader Mary Ellen Hannibal wades into tide pools, follows hawks and scours mountains to collect data on threatened species as part of her wide-ranging exploration of today’s tech-enabled citizen science. She harnesses the power of a heroic cast of volunteers to pursue what may be our last, best hope in slowing an unprecedented mass extinction. Her new book, Citizen Scientist, gives us a blueprint for action. Find out how your smartphone can make you a citizen scientist!
Mary Ellen Hannibal is an emerging voice in environmentalism and a sought-after speaker who connects the scientific community to the concerned public. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire and Elle, among others. She is an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellow and a recipient of the National Society of Science Writers’ Science and Society Award. She lives in San Francisco.
"One of Hannibal’s themes in this ambitious new book is the 'double narrative,' or the contradiction between what we tell ourselves we are doing every day and what is really going on.. Invoking literary, historic, and scientific touchstones, and telling a personal story as well, she provides what citizen scientists John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts called the 'toto picture.' We can’t afford to see the Earth any other way."
– Paul Ehrlich, Bing Professor of Population Studies, Stanford University.
