In the last episode of this first season of Exploring Citizen Science, Alexander wraps up the content of the project. But more importantly, he tries to answer the questions he set out originally, in episode 1. So: can citizen science help restore trust in experts in our societies? What is the "responsibility" of scientists themselves in this process and does citizen science change their perspective? How can we - meaning institutions, but maybe anyone - help citizen science grow as a practice?
