Abstract
We share Estep and Church’s goal of finding appropriate pathways for harnessing the benefits of citizen science. However, we respectfully disagree with their view of what responsible citizen science entails. The responsibilities of citizen scientists should be elevated when they develop and disseminate unproven public health interventions or online instructions for unknown persons to self-manufacture and self-administer such interventions.
