Exploring the Power of Community Engagement: Sabiya Sabir’s Journey from Citizen Science to Published Scholar

Sabiya Sabir, a graduate from the Global Field Program (GFP) at New York, NY, has recently had an article published in NSTA’s Connected Science Learning. In her article, Sabir discusses the importance of engaging communities in scientific endeavors like bioblitzes. She explains that these biological surveys bring together students, teachers, parents and scientists to learn about local habitats and introduces citizen science to the public.

Sabir completed her Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in Biological Sciences at Miami University through Project Dragonfly’s GFP program while also serving as the Director of Public Programs at a science museum in Bronx, NY. This experience allowed her to gain practical knowledge in the field while pursuing her academic goals.

Through her work and research, Sabir has demonstrated the value of web-based citizen science projects like bioblitzes in providing scientists and the public with valuable data about the natural world. Her passion for education and community engagement shines through in her work, inspiring others to get involved in citizen science initiatives.
