Zooniverse

Has anyone else tried Zooniverse.org? I spend a few minutes of my spare time each week transcribing old botany records so they can be accessed online from universities and museums.

They have other projects involving transcribing and some field work, ID work for more experienced naturalists, historians and scientists.

Just thought some people on here might be interested.

Nationwide citizen science tick testing

Offered by Bay Area Lyme Foundation: "Sending us your tick(s) allows our scientific researchers to gather data about ticks from all over the United States. Our scientists can broaden their investigations into tick populations and glean information on the current distribution of the major tick vectors and the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens that people encounter in different locations."

My first two weeks

I'm a casual but enthusiastic naturalist with a not-so-great memory. So, I want to keep track of things I'm learning about as I go.

My first two weeks on iNaturalist have been exciting! I've learned more than I expected to about things I didn't even know existed.

So far:

  • hover flies
  • spittlebugs
  • monocots vs. dicots
  • shelf fungi
  • hawk moths

Plus, found some beautiful, new (to me) plants from around the world by wading through others' observations. This is a wonderful place to be when I can't be outdoors!
