What is citizen science?

Citizen Science refers to when members of the public involve themselves in science projects, and is a crucial tool for advancing scientific research.

Whilst there can be many barriers which can hinder individuals engaging with science, at the Phage Collection Project we hope that we can overcome these obstacles and deliver an initiative which is centred around the public.

To learn more about the work that we do at The Phage Collection Project and how you can get involved in our research, you can watch our presentation from the Royal Society’s Summer Science Exhibition 2025.
