2026 Call for "Citizen Science" Speakers

This application is for fellow "citizen scientists" to share their original story, research, and/or hypothesis in a 14 minute talk at our coming conference on March 13-15, 2026 (see CoSci.org for details).
Accepting applications until DECEMBER 1, 2025
We are looking for stories or ideas around science that are original and interesting.

Every kind of talk is on the table. Here are some examples:
- Your talk could be TED Talk-styled – discussing a personal, science-themed story
- Your talk could be proposing a new hypothesis based on original data you've collected or gathered
- Your talk could describe a new way to conduct science that's outside the typical channels
- Your talk might revisit an older idea that has been forgotten but is now quite relevent
Whatever your talk, it must be a tight 14 minutes or less. We have allocated a strict 14 minutes per speaker, no exceptions.

Bear in mind this is a application to be considered. Submissions will be reviewed and all candidates will be informed if they've been selected to be interviewed for the next stage by January 20, 2026 via email.
