Shana Sandhaus

Shana Sandhaus, research specialist and laboratory manager, holds an MS in Environmental Science from the University of Arizona. Her previous work involved evaluating the changes in efficacy, knowledge, and motivations before and after participation in citizen science programs. Her research interests include understanding why people participate in citizen science programs, if there is an increase in efficacy and knowledge as a result of participation, and if participants believe they can make a positive impact on their environment as a result of the program. Shana works with the Project Harvest research team, students, and community health workers to make sure the project runs smoothly.
