Public Lab
American nonprofit organization
The Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (Public Lab) is a non-profit organization that facilitates collaborative, open source environmental research in a model known as Community Science.[1][2] It supports communities facing environmental justice issues in a do it yourself approach to environmental monitoring and advocacy.[3] Public Lab grew out of a grassroots effort to take aerial photographs[4][5] of the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.[6][7] Since then, they have launched a range of projects, including an open source spectrometer,[8][9][10] multi-spectral camera, and low-cost microscope.[11][12]
