TSRI Team to Participate in Citizen Science Day Expo

Team members from Mark2Cure, a project of Associate Professor Andrew Su’s lab at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI), will help launch the inaugural U.S. Citizen Science Day with an exposition on Saturday, April 16, showcasing local initiatives that seek the public’s involvement.

Held from 10 AM to 2 PM at the La Lolla/Riford Public Library, the free event will feature citizen science projects including the Urban Tide Initiative, Cabrillo National Monument Bioblitz, San Diego River Foundation, Scripps Institute of Oceanography’s Stand Up for Science, Ocean Sanctuaries, Surfrider and San Diego Wet lab group.

The Su lab’s Mark2Cure project enlists non-scientist volunteers to curate biomedical literature, identifying connections between key pieces of information to help point the way to new therapies for rare but devastating diseases. See the Mar2Cure website for more information.
