Abstract
In April of 2014, the city of Flint, Michigan gained national attention and assistance after the residents noticed physical issues in their water. This unfortunate event led to opportunities to address certain issues in research and provided a window of opportunity to learn. This work will allow us to analyze how individuals use science as a resource for decision making, conscious thinking, and understanding of informal science knowledge.
