The Flu Near You project leverages the power of the crowd to provide real-time information about influenza-like-illness in your area.
Join us online for an introduction to citizen science, to learn more about summer reading, and to learn how to participate in this citizen science project through a presentation and online Q&A.
Meet Autumn Gertz of the Flu Near You project. She’ll be in conversation with Jennifer Miller, Adult Services Librarian at Scotch Plains Public Library.
Join us on Zoom and submit your own questions on the Q&A/Chat features during the event. This event is supported by Scotch Plains Public Library, the Network of the National of Libraries of Medicine, All of Us, and SciStarter.
