A new study finds that when people engage in participatory science activities that involve awe-inspiring natural phenomena, such as an eclipse, they more closely identify with science and feel a greater sense of belonging. Participatory science, also called citizen science, refers to projects in which members of the public contribute to the scientific process. The paper, “Awe in Nature Fosters Science Identity and Belonging in Participatory Scientists During an Eclipse,” will be published May 27 in the journal People and Nature.
