is cool, and I'm curious to see if there's such a thing for outside of the sciences.

Are any of you familiar with any groups that support , or scholarly work and conduct among persons outside of ?

@arturovm "Citizen science (CS; also known as community science, crowd science, crowd-sourced science, civic science, volunteer monitoring, or networked science) is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur (or nonprofessional) scientists." [Wikipedia article]

@bthall There's some pretty incredible historians (with and without university backgrounds) in the SCA - mainly focused on histories of materials, objects or processes, but sometimes outside of that too.

And a lot of community teaching goes on in all sorts of areas, often out of sheer necessity - the skills in demand among members often aren't taught by any formal institutions, so the community has to teach one another.

@bthall the only things I can quickly think of are various genealogic efforts and citizen history as noted in this article:

@PonderingCreek No I hadn't; I'm quite new to looking into CS, but I've been curious about the matter of inquiry along the laity for a while. 😊 I'll check this out once I get to campus. 💌

@bthall Not quite sure if this is what you are looking for, but Zooniverse has a number of project outside of the sciences: arts, literature, history, social sciences... zooniverse.org/projects

Scholar Social

Federated microblogging for academics

Scholar Social is a microblogging platform for researchers, grad students, librarians, archivists, undergrads, academically inclined high schoolers, educators of all levels, journal editors, research assistants, professors, administrators—anyone involved in academia who is willing to engage with others respectfully.

We strive to be a safe space for queer people and other minorities, recognizing that there can only be academic freedom where the existence and validity of interlocutors' identities is taken as axiomatic.

"An academic microblog that you can be proud to put on the last slide of a presentation at a conference"

"Official" monthly journal club!

(Participation is, of course, optional)

Scholar Social features a monthly "official" journal club, in which we try to read and comment on a paper of interest.

Any user of Scholar Social can suggest an article by sending the DOI by direct message to @socrates@scholar.social and one will be chosen by random lottery on the last day of the month. We ask that you only submit articles that are from *outside* your own field of study to try to ensure that the papers we read are accessible and interesting to non-experts.
