<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The 3rd Annual HamSCI (Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation) Workshop will be held at the University of Scranton March 20-21, 2020. This Citizen Science workshop is uniquely designed to bring together the
professional research community and the amateur radio community to share ideas toward jointly advancing space science knowledge and amateur radio activities. As we look to the next solar maximum and solar eclipse across North America, opportunities for space
weather investigations involving citizen scientists will increasingly and transformatively benefit our field. The theme of the 2020 HamSCI Workshop is "The Auroral Connection: How does the aurora affect amateur radio, and what can we learn about the aurora
from citizen science techniques?" Invited speakers include Dr. Elizabeth MacDonald, NASA Scientist and founder of the Aurorasaurus citizen science project; Prof. James LaBelle, Dartmouth Space Scientist and expert on radio aurora; Dan Hallidy, K2DH, an expert
in ham radio auroral communication; and leading amateur radio contester Tim Duffy, K3LR. Additionally, this workshop will also serve as a team meeting for the HamSCI Personal Space Weather Station project, an NSF-funded Distributed Arrays of Small Instruments
project to develop a modular citizen science instrument for studying space weather from anywhere including backyards. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The workshop organizing committee invites submission of abstracts on these topics, or on any topic that has a goal of advancing knowledge of the space environment through collaborations with citizen science communities.
