Join the Wicked Hot Mystic team at the first ever Chelsea Research Festival! We will be presenting research from a 2021 volunteer heat mapping campaign to identify urban heat islands in the City of Chelsea.

About the Chelsea Research Festival

From the Chelsea Research Festival website:

Chelsea residents are knowledgeable, resilient, and resourceful. We take an active role in our community and in our health, and often work with researchers who study how to improve quality of life amidst challenges related to access to services, environmental injustice, and COVID-19 spread. However, the Chelsea residents who spend time and energy participating in research often don't get to hear about the results of these studies.

In a first-of-its-kind event, the Chelsea Research Festival, we aim to highlight Chelsea residents' contributions to science and bridge the gap between community and research. This event is being planned by Chelsea residents, Chelsea organizations (Bunker Hill Community College Chelsea Campus, Chelsea Public Schools, City of Chelsea, GreenRoots, HarborCOV, Healthy Chelsea, La Colaborativa), and the MGH Chelsea Community Research Program.
