OpenHour is an interactive seminar hosted by the Public Lab Community both online and in person. The topics of OpenHour vary from presentations on tools and methods, discussions on environmental issues, to approaches to data-based advocacy. OpenHour is a great way to meet people in the Public Lab Community. Bring your research, your ideas, and your questions; and join us for OpenHour. OpenHour is held the first Monday of the month. OpenHour time rotates between 8:00pm EST (odd months) and 1:00pm EST (even months)! See OpenHour schedule below for times and topics. The event is held right from this page, so join us here for the event! OpenHour Schedule:Check back soon for OpenHour Updates! Can't wait for a OpenHour? Request a Live Call!Live Calls are a great way to connect with fellow Public Labbers on projects and ideas that fall outside the OpenHour times and topic schedule. They are designed to help you connect with fellow Public Labbers to brainstorm, share ideas and move forward on projects. These calls will be open to the Public Lab community and access information will be posted on the OpenHour Page. Past OpenHoursJanuary 11th: Reflections on the Climate Conference (COP21)**This OpenHour we hear reflections from people who were at COP21. What did we learned? what surprised, rejuvenated, disappointed or inspired those who were there. December 7th The Oil Testing Kit!Interested in learning what's been going on with the Public Lab Oil Testing Kit? This OpenHour we talk about the Beta program,, kit development and what's in store for the future of this tool! November 2nd: Gearing up for the BarnraisingComing to the Barnraising? Still thinking about registering? Join us for an OpenHour that will gear us all up for the event! Tuesday October 20th, Live Call: Calibration and Characterization of DIY InstrumentationBackground: Those of us who've been interested in building our own devices for performing environmental measurements have struggled with questions like:
Speaker Bio: Pete Marchetto is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Cornell Soil and Water Lab, and is soon to be an Assistant Professor in Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Minnesota. His research revolves around finding new, better, and less expensive ways of making instrumentation for those in the organismal and environmental biological fields, as well as the earth sciences. More information and contact information can be found at: http://about.me/pete.marchetto Thursday October 8th, Live CallAs a follow-up to the September Open Hour "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science", we are having a small discussion on transparency in environmental policy and science and its surprising application in the Secret Science Reform Act of 2015 Daniel Sarewitz will be joining us, please read his piece in Nature as a preview. Philip Silva, Public Lab organizer, will also be joining us to bring his perspectives on science and politics. Monday, October 5th: Formaldehyde and the Plant Remediation ExperimentFormaldehyde "is the most common and most toxicologically understood indoor air pollutant," it's just about everywhere. But beyond thinking about it, what if there was something we could do about it? A this OpenHour we'll be talking about Public Lab's new Where We Breathe project and discussing how you can build a plant remediation experiment for about $20 - no soldering or microchips needed! The plants that we are going to be experimenting with have been lab-tested by NASA for cleaning air in space stations. In this call we were joined by :
Wednesday, September 9th: "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science."Environmental Science and Policy affects everyone, yet people can find themselves in situations where the language used is unclear, text heavy or full of jargon. In this OpenHour we will explore this issue, and how people tried to address it. During this OpenHour we were joined by:

Philip Silva, Public Lab organizer, will also be joining us to bring his perspectives on science and politics. Monday, October 5th: Formaldehyde and the Plant Remediation ExperimentFormaldehyde "is the most common and most toxicologically understood indoor air pollutant," it's just about everywhere. But beyond thinking about it, what if there was something we could do about it? A this OpenHour we'll be talking about Public Lab's new Where We Breathe project and discussing how you can build a plant remediation experiment for about $20 - no soldering or microchips needed! The plants that we are going to be experimenting with have been lab-tested by NASA for cleaning air in space stations. In this call we were joined by :
Wednesday, September 9th: "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science."Environmental Science and Policy affects everyone, yet people can find themselves in situations where the language used is unclear, text heavy or full of jargon.

Speaker Bio: Pete Marchetto is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Cornell Soil and Water Lab, and is soon to be an Assistant Professor in Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Minnesota. His research revolves around finding new, better, and less expensive ways of making instrumentation for those in the organismal and environmental biological fields, as well as the earth sciences. More information and contact information can be found at: http://about.me/pete.marchetto Thursday October 8th, Live CallAs a follow-up to the September Open Hour "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science", we are having a small discussion on transparency in environmental policy and science and its surprising application in the Secret Science Reform Act of 2015 Daniel Sarewitz will be joining us, please read his piece in Nature as a preview. Philip Silva, Public Lab organizer, will also be joining us to bring his perspectives on science and politics. Monday, October 5th: Formaldehyde and the Plant Remediation ExperimentFormaldehyde "is the most common and most toxicologically understood indoor air pollutant," it's just about everywhere. But beyond thinking about it, what if there was something we could do about it? A this OpenHour we'll be talking about Public Lab's new Where We Breathe project and discussing how you can build a plant remediation experiment for about $20 - no soldering or microchips needed! The plants that we are going to be experimenting with have been lab-tested by NASA for cleaning air in space stations. In this call we were joined by :
Wednesday, September 9th: "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science."Environmental Science and Policy affects everyone, yet people can find themselves in situations where the language used is unclear, text heavy or full of jargon.

Speaker Bio: Pete Marchetto is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Cornell Soil and Water Lab, and is soon to be an Assistant Professor in Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Minnesota. His research revolves around finding new, better, and less expensive ways of making instrumentation for those in the organismal and environmental biological fields, as well as the earth sciences. More information and contact information can be found at: http://about.me/pete.marchetto Thursday October 8th, Live CallAs a follow-up to the September Open Hour "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science", we are having a small discussion on transparency in environmental policy and science and its surprising application in the Secret Science Reform Act of 2015 Daniel Sarewitz will be joining us, please read his piece in Nature as a preview. Philip Silva, Public Lab organizer, will also be joining us to bring his perspectives on science and politics. Monday, October 5th: Formaldehyde and the Plant Remediation ExperimentFormaldehyde "is the most common and most toxicologically understood indoor air pollutant," it's just about everywhere. But beyond thinking about it, what if there was something we could do about it? A this OpenHour we'll be talking about Public Lab's new Where We Breathe project and discussing how you can build a plant remediation experiment for about $20 - no soldering or microchips needed! The plants that we are going to be experimenting with have been lab-tested by NASA for cleaning air in space stations. In this call we were joined by :
Wednesday, September 9th: "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science."Environmental Science and Policy affects everyone, yet people can find themselves in situations where the language used is unclear, text heavy or full of jargon. In this OpenHour we will explore this issue, and how people tried to address it. During this OpenHour we were joined by:

More information and contact information can be found at: http://about.me/pete.marchetto Thursday October 8th, Live CallAs a follow-up to the September Open Hour "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science", we are having a small discussion on transparency in environmental policy and science and its surprising application in the Secret Science Reform Act of 2015 Daniel Sarewitz will be joining us, please read his piece in Nature as a preview. Philip Silva, Public Lab organizer, will also be joining us to bring his perspectives on science and politics. Monday, October 5th: Formaldehyde and the Plant Remediation ExperimentFormaldehyde "is the most common and most toxicologically understood indoor air pollutant," it's just about everywhere. But beyond thinking about it, what if there was something we could do about it? A this OpenHour we'll be talking about Public Lab's new Where We Breathe project and discussing how you can build a plant remediation experiment for about $20 - no soldering or microchips needed! The plants that we are going to be experimenting with have been lab-tested by NASA for cleaning air in space stations. In this call we were joined by :
Wednesday, September 9th: "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science."Environmental Science and Policy affects everyone, yet people can find themselves in situations where the language used is unclear, text heavy or full of jargon. In this OpenHour we will explore this issue, and how people tried to address it. During this OpenHour we were joined by:

OpenHour is an interactive seminar hosted by the Public Lab Community both online and in person. The topics of open hour vary from presentations on tools and methods, discussions on environmental issues, to approaches to data-based advocacy. OpenHour is a great way to meet people in the Public Lab Community. Bring your research, your ideas, and your questions; and join us for OpenHour. OpenHour is held the first Monday of the month. OpenHour time rotates between 8:00pm EST (odd months) and 1:00pm EST (even months)! See OpenHour schedule below for times and topics. The event is held right from this page, so join us here for the event! OpenHour Schedule:Monday, December 7th 1:00pm EST The Oil Testing Kit! Interested in learning what's been going on with the Public Lab Oil Testing Kit? This is the OpenHour for you! We'll talk about the Beta program, where 15 participants built the kit and attempted to scan replications of different oil samples. We'll talk about kit development and what's in store for the future of this tool! Join us here on the OpenHour page Monday the 7th! Can't wait for a OpenHour? Request a Live Call!Live Calls are a great way to connect with fellow Public Labbers on projects and ideas that fall outside the OpenHour times and topic schedule. They are designed to help you connect with fellow Public Labbers to brainstorm, share ideas and move forward on projects. These calls will be open to the Public Lab community and access information will be posted on the OpenHour Page. Past OpenHoursMonday November 2nd: Gearing up for the BarnraisingComing to the Barnraising? Still thinking about registering? Join us for an OpenHour that will gear us all up for the event! Tuesday October 20th, Live Call: Calibration and Characterization of DIY InstrumentationBackground: Those of us who've been interested in building our own devices for performing environmental measurements have struggled with questions like:
Speaker Bio: Pete Marchetto is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Cornell Soil and Water Lab, and is soon to be an Assistant Professor in Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Minnesota. His research revolves around finding new, better, and less expensive ways of making instrumentation for those in the organismal and environmental biological fields, as well as the earth sciences. More information and contact information can be found at: http://about.me/pete.marchetto Thursday October 8th, Live CallAs a follow-up to the September Open Hour "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science", we are having a small discussion on transparency in environmental policy and science and its surprising application in the Secret Science Reform Act of 2015 Daniel Sarewitz will be joining us, please read his piece in Nature as a preview. Philip Silva, Public Lab organizer, will also be joining us to bring his perspectives on science and politics. Monday, October 5th: Formaldehyde and the Plant Remediation ExperimentFormaldehyde "is the most common and most toxicologically understood indoor air pollutant," it's just about everywhere. But beyond thinking about it, what if there was something we could do about it? A this OpenHour we'll be talking about Public Lab's new Where We Breathe project and discussing how you can build a plant remediation experiment for about $20 - no soldering or microchips needed! The plants that we are going to be experimenting with have been lab-tested by NASA for cleaning air in space stations. In this call we were joined by :
Wednesday, September 9th: "Transparency in Environmental Policy and Science."Environmental Science and Policy affects everyone, yet people can find themselves in situations where the language used is unclear, text heavy or full of jargon. In this OpenHour we will explore this issue, and how people tried to address it. During this OpenHour we were joined by:

Telling stories of times when we exchanged concepts, skills, and attitudes, we then move on to tackle topics like expertise, jargon, the role of social bonds (online and offline), and the type of resources that support learning. Cindy Regalado, Beryl Thurman, Bronwen Densmore, Chris Fastie, and Ned Horning join us contributing in site and ideas. Monday, March 2nd: Engaging in "C" ScienceWhat do people mean when they refer to citizen, civic or community science? Who is it for? How do people collaborate, stay involved, and push towards outcomes? What makes a successful program and what are things to look out for? In this exciting OpenHour we were joined by: Julie Vastine: Director of the Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring, based out of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1986, ALLARM provides scientific and programmatic assistance to Pennsylvania and New York communities interested in using science as a tool to investigate stream health. Jessica Hendricks: Program Manager at Global Community Monitor, an organization that works internationally to train and support communities in the use of environmental monitoring tools to understand the impact of fossil fuel industry pollution on their health and the environment. Tim Vargo: Manager of Research & Citizen Science at the Urban Ecology Center.
