对许多人来说，公民科学是令人兴奋的，因为在科学研究中有可能建立更多样化、更公平的伙伴关系，其成果被所有人，包括公众参与者认为是有意义和有用的。这是我们在2015年公民科学协会会议上组织的研讨会的重点。在这里，我们综合了研讨会参与者的观点和我们自己的思考。专业科学有一个参与问题，这是社会中更大的公平问题的一部分。科学领域的不平等会产生负面影响，包括未能满足人类和社会经历的不同需求和目标，例如，对环境污染等问题缺乏关注，这些问题对代表性不足的人口造成了不成比例的影响，以及未能认识到结构性种族主义的普遍影响。不平等还助长了对科学和科学家的不信任。当对诸如水力压裂法等紧迫的社区问题的调查被质疑为有偏见的努力时，一种认为科学是为了占主导地位的社会群体的唯一利益而实践的看法得到了加强。从广义上讲，公民科学可以挑战和改变这种不公平和不信任，但前提是它反映了公众的多样性，并且不会加剧科学和社会中现有的不公平。关键将是科学被描绘的方式：承认在所有科学研究中存在偏见，以及可用于最大限度地减少这种偏见的工具，并展示科学对解决当地问题和政策变化的效用。研讨会与会者呼吁反思性研究、相互学习和其他方法，以支持更公平地参与实践和公民科学协会的活动。
For many, citizen science is exciting because of the possibility for more diverse, equitable partnerships in scientific research with outcomes considered meaningful and useful by all, including public participants. This was the focus of a symposium we organized at the 2015 conference of the Citizen Science Association. Here we synthesize points made by symposium participants and our own reflections. Professional science has a participation problem that is part of a larger equity problem in society. Inequity in science has negative consequences including a failure to address the needs and goals arising from diverse human and social experiences, for example, lack of attention to issues such as environmental contamination that disproportionately impact under-represented populations, and a failure to recognize the pervasive effects of structural racism. Inequity also encourages mistrust of science and scientists. A perception that science is practiced for the sole benefit of dominant social groups is reinforced when investigations of urgent community concerns such as hydraulic fracturing are questioned as being biased endeavors. Defined broadly, citizen science can challenge and change this inequity and mistrust, but only if it reflects the diversity of publics, and if it doesn’t reinforce existing inequities in science and society. Key will be the way that science is portrayed: Acknowledging the presence of bias in all scientific research and the tools available for minimizing this, and demonstrating the utility of science for local problem solving and policy change. Symposium participants called for reflexive research, mutual learning, and other methods for supporting more equitable engagement in practice and in the activities of the Citizen Science Association.
