Hi rachel, thanks for your interest. let’s look deeper into the session tracks (they have been a bit mixed up, due to re-scheduling and arrival times…) Track 1 is in Wednesday afternoon with @sabgaby, @bethan (BentoLab), and i am not too sure which @kristijan.tkalec check, if that fits best for your moderation around your interest in “Citizen Science”, but also check Track 2. you’ll find most of the submitted articles on this gdrive: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz6oc5RnJkFGdV92WVNHbGQ5YnM?ths=true](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz6oc5RnJkFGdV92WVNHbGQ5YnM?ths=true) cu later ---

Marc just told me about an hour ago that track 2 might be really more interesting for citizen science. we could do it together?? It was nice to meet you already in Paris! ---

Hi all, I’m presenting on the unruly innovations panel but after that, I’d be happy to moderate. I think I’d be good at the values track, I guess? I’m a cultural anthropologist. I work with DIY mycologists / citizen scientists but I’m also familiar with biohackers (I know the counter culture labs people) and other hackers 🙂 I also work part-time with MycoWorks so that biofabbing and art angle is really interesting to me. Also the overlap between these DIY worlds and the hi-tech institutional academic world of biotech and genetic engineering. ---

Hi rachel @raronoff and @lu_cyP, it would be great if you can do this together!! track2 it is… We try to have non-speakers involved in getting the best out of the speakers and leading the discussion into something interesting! get in contact with @winnieponcelet and @massimiliano (not yet on forum), first talk. @punkish (puneet kishor), 2nd talk, and ricardo (maybe @rikimut) and read their papers on [gdrive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0Bz6oc5RnJkFGdV92WVNHbGQ5YnM?ths=true) Best to start already a dedicated topic in the “Sessions” category… thanks for your support! ---

Hi @dusjagr should the moderator has specific skills? If not, I am interested by track 3. Since it is aligned with the quest in my thesis… I am studying practices in african maker/hackerspace to see which kind of values emerge from them and to see how far these values are far from the idealtype of hacker ethic in one side; in another side, how far these values are from african ethic. ---

Hi there! Your thesis sounds very close to what I am interested in studying about Karkhana (the makerspace that I have become associated with). Will be great to exchange ideas around this topic, looking forward to chatting with you! 🙂 ---
