2010年，皇家学会期刊《生物学快报》发表了一篇文章《黑尾蜜蜂》，引起了轰动：关于蜜蜂觅食模式的发现是原创性的，但真正的原创性在于实验部分是由德文郡的Blackawton小学的一组8至10岁的儿童设计的，并且论文是由他们撰写的（Blackawton等人，2011年）。[1]这篇文章引起了媒体的关注，并对专业科学的界限、科学实践与教育之间的区别以及年龄和经验的等级制度提出了质疑。到目前为止，它还没有创造出一个由schoolchi laughter撰写的科学论文的激增，但它仍然是一个具有启发性和令人信服的例子，说明如果我们采用一种更具包容性的科学观，可能会发生什么。Blackawton蜜蜂项目与我们自己的AHRC文化科学项目“构建科学社区：19世纪和21世纪的公民科学”产生了强烈的共鸣，该项目位于牛津大学和莱斯特大学，与伦敦自然历史博物馆、皇家外科医生乐歌和皇家学会（www.conscicom.org）合作。[2]该项目探索，并有助于，被称为“公民科学”的日益增长的运动，主要是通过在线Zooniverse平台（www.zooniverse.org），由共同研究员Chris Lintott创立，但也通过历史研究到网络和社区，他们在19世纪世纪为科学做出了贡献，在专业结构刚刚出现的时期。
In 2010 the Royal Society journal Biology Letters publ ished an article, ‘Blackawton bees’, which caused something of a sensation: the findings , on bees’ foraging patterns, were original , but the true original i ty lay in the fact the experiments were in part devised, and the paper written, by a group of 8to 10-year-old chi ldren at Blackawton Primary School in Devon (Blackawton et a l ., 2011).[1] The article attracted cons iderable media attention, troubl ing, as i t did, the boundaries of profess ional science, and distinctions between scienti fic practice and education, not to mention the hierarchies of age and experience. It has not, so far, created a surge of scienti fic papers written by schoolchi ldren, but i t remains a s igni ficant and compel l ing example of what might be poss ible i f we adopt a more inclus ive vis ion of science. The Blackawton bees project has strong resonances for our own AHRC Science in Culture project, ‘Constructing scienti fic communities : ci tizen science in the 19th and 21st centuries ’, which is based at the Univers i ties of Oxford and Leicester, in partnership with the London Natural History Museum, the Royal Col lege of Surgeons and the Royal Society (www.conscicom.org).[2] The project explores , and contributes to, the growing movement of what has come to be known as ‘ci tizen science’, principal ly through the onl ine Zooniverse platform (www.zooniverse.org), founded by co-investigator Chris Lintott, but a lso through historical research into the networks and communities who contributed to science in the 19th century, during a period when profess ional structures were only just emerging.
