 Good morning. So I'm Chicago Wilson. I am an assistant professor at the University of Maryland College Park. So what I'll do is, in the timekeeper, definitely keep me on time. Thank you. Just going to lay out what I do as a licensed citizen science, and maybe come in at a different route, maybe more of the earlier presentation about environmental health. So I'm an environmental health scientist. And so a lot of work that I do is in partnership with community groups. So we use what we call the community-based participatory research framework. But for me, CBPR and also citizen science are not really that new. And so I see citizen science as a paradigm that really is something that we should do more of, and as an academic, I think it can be supplemental to some of the work that I do. But also it should be able to replace a lot of what we do. And in a lot of the communities that I work with, they're differentially exposed to hazards. So this is a whole issue of environmental justice. And so a lot of the work that we do is not just about knowledge production, because as the previous speaker just mentioned, there's been a lot of exploitation of communities. And so we talk about a lot of the communities that I work with, they've been impacted by what we call scientific racism. So you go into a community. You do the helicopter research. It's very extractive. You're working a community of color, and nothing comes back to really actually solve the problem. You also have research that's been done. And this is why, again, citizen science is important when you have scientific colonialism. So you're going into a community, and you're there all the time, right? So your students are learning. You're getting grant dollars. You're getting publications. You're getting tenure promotion. And still, nothing is done to really address the problem. Then you have scientific imperialism. So that gets to the issue of who dominates the scientific agenda, who makes the, this could be the government agencies. These could be the major universities who gets represented in the news about, it's been the leaders in the field. And again, that really defeats the purpose of what science in my opinion should be. So a lot of the science that I do, science has value. We bring our own values to the science. So in the work that I do, we follow what we call Boyer's five dimensions of science. So it's the science of inquiry, data production, which is the one in academia that's the one that's most commodified, the one we emphasize the most. There's the science of teaching, learning from each other. There's the science of interdisciplinary science. So you want to be able to address the issue for multiple dimensions. It has to be prismatic, right? So since science is important for that, there's the science of engagement and there's the science of application. So getting back to the issue of, so what? For us, it has to be translated to action. If you're just doing science with just knowledge production for the communities that are working, where they're being impacted by a landfill, where they're being impacted by a coal fire plant, that's the issue of cumulative burden. So it's not just one source of pollution. There's multiple facilities that release the multiple chemicals through multiple routes and pathways of exposure. There's also other stressors, non-chemical stressors, including psychosocial stressors. So you can be a community doing this research and we find out that poverty impacts health, that your exposure to chemicals impacting your health. They know that already. So what are you doing as it relates to using the data actually translating the real action? What could be policy change? What could be some kind of, five minutes already? Wow. Some other kind of, okay, cool. Thank you. Some other kind of intervention. And so for me, you know, citizen science, if you think about, I don't have, again, I don't have any slides, but we have this community-engaged paradigm. So if you can visualize the paradigm, the left side of the paradigm, you can start out with outreach. You move to involvement. You move to consultation. Then you move to participatory and community driven. Right? So within that paradigm, you can have citizen science, where in some cases, some of the work I do, we're doing more outreach. We may be doing involvement in having community members help collect data. I have a mosquito project in Baltimore. We're looking at green space, urban form, and mosquito habitats. That is really more in an involvement, right? We have another project. We're looking at stormwater management issues in DC. And we're training community members to use best management practices to reduce stormwater inputs into Chesapeake Bay. And so it has more involvement consultation. It also has more participatory. But most of my work is more of the participatory community driven end of this paradigm. And so when the community groups that I work with a long term is the Western Revitalization Association, they're a community based environmental justice organization in Mebben, North Carolina. They were gonna be impacted by a highway without any input. They have what we call the lack of basic amenities limited access to public regulated sewer and water infrastructure. So they're in the city limits, but they're still on well water, roads are not paved, and they still have septic tanks. And so part of our work with that group, they came with their own framework called community owned and managed research in part in response to some of the researchers from my university, UNC, who were then very, they were exploiting them to been very extractive. So they fired all the academic researchers and they brought in students. And I was a student at the time when I started working with WERA to really help them build the research structures to collect data and use that data for action. And so part of what we did, we trained community members collected on water samples to look at the levels of microbes, fecal coliforms, E. coli, entericocca, and also colophages to see if the water was contaminated from due to their septic waste. And also the took samples of local from local rivers and streams to understand whether or not their waste was impacting water quality. And so they were able to leverage that data to block the highway. They were also able to use some of that data to get first time installation of sewer water infrastructure and use that data to get the roads paved. Now it's still a lot of work that needs to be done, but that's translating research to action, right? It's us very, so to me, that is sort of the foundation of the work that I do in my career. Since that experience as a student, I've used that sort of Comer principles, equity and funding, parody and management, make sure the data is used for compliance, the data is used for action. Out of that paradigm came what we call legal epidemiology, a legal based epidemiology, where you have the exposure disease paradigm, instead of just focused on this whole black box of all these chemical exposures and stresses and figuring out what the disease, stress of A leads to disease B, we focus more on the left side of the paradigm and say what are the sources? Are they in compliance with building codes? And really trying to figure out what are the sources of exposure and then what laws are not in compliance with leveraging Title VI and using that in a way to again address the problem to get a compliance and to get action and not been sucked on the whole epi-trap. We don't allow the epi-trap to stop us from getting action. So that's the paradigm that came out of the work, excuse me, with where? Another group that I work with long term is the Low Country Laws for Model Communities. It's a community group based in North Charleston, South Carolina. They are basically economically stressed, underserved, African-American neighborhoods who are gonna be impacted by the port of Charleston. It's the port, you know, all, because of goods moving across the country, all the ports are expanding, right? So this is a goods movement community. And so they have some of the traditional EJ issues, coal-fired plants, superfund sites, an old incinerator, thank you. An old incinerator and other facilities that have psychosocial stresses, poverty and some other issues. And so what we were able to do was to, part of the citizen science, they came to us to help them really wanted to figure out what were some of the baseline contamination issues in the community before the port expansion. They can use that as part of the mitigation plan agreement with the Port Authority. And so we helped train community members to collect their own air pollution data, a PM25, a PM10, collect soil contamination data near a superfund site and also near an incinerator. And so that data's being used as part of the local environmental decision-making. It's helped them with zoning and planning sort of discussions with the city. It's helped them really implement the mitigation plan agreement in a way that's more community-driven. And also what came out of that, sort of the next steps, what came out of that, the collaboration, a new community group was established called C-CRAB. It's the Charleston Community Research to Action Board because they really wanted to have a community RRB. And so that C-CRAB group, I'm gonna squeeze a little bit more time out of it. That C-CRAB group is a group that's really driving the research now and really driving, making sure the research that we do in the future is, again, it's about action. There was a sister group that was established called Women Against Environmental Injustice, Wage. So it's another group that came out, like a product of this collaboration. And then we also, we do a lot of public participants who are GIS, PPGIS. And so we have a website called EJ Radar. It's still sort of in beta mode, but we have all the data online. So we've been training community members to map their data. And we're actually gonna have a training session in February. The community group got some grant money from a local foundation. So we can come back down to Charleston, train them to map their data, and again, they can use those maps to help with local decision-making. So I could go on and on. I have other partnerships too, but thank you. Thanks. If I could have the panelists come to the front.
