A few weeks ago I was asked to represent the Zooniverse projects at a conference for a couple of hundred physics teachers (how cool)! So I spoke to the Zoo team and I learned more about Zoo Teach: “Where educators can share high quality lesson plans & resources that complement the Zooniverse citizen science projects.” Although I’m not teaching physics currently myself, I can highly recommend this part of the Zoo too.
Although the name of this conference, ‘Woudschoten’, suggests it was held there, it actually took place in Noordwijkerhout, which is near the beach on the west side of the country. I shared my slot with Frans Snik, who presented iSPEX and Marieke Baan, who introduced us and Citizen Science in general. After our talks, we went to see Govert Schilling’s presentation on (life on) Mars, which was excellent.
Afterwards, Steven and I went to see the Moon rise on the nearby beach.

It was a fun day! Both at the conference and at the beach.
