  1. It was 50 years ago today ...

    The first page from my earliest attempts to record my #nature observations - a visit to #FlatfordMill in #Suffolk, #England. Passive language reflecting school instructions on science writing. Also an overuse of the word "also".

  3. I photographed this wee fly on the campus of #LincolnUniversityNZ, during a student-led campus BioBlitz this month.

    Otago Museum fly expert Steve Kerr has confirmed on iNaturalist today that it's the endemic species, *Melanagromyza senecionella.* This makes it the first record of this species in the Canterbury region, at least online on #GBIF and #iNaturalist, and the 34th observation in NZ online.

    It's one of several new species for campus that students and staff found during the BioBlitz. Natural history discoveries can be made everywhere in NZ.

  5. Nautilus: TikTok Discovered a Blind, Pale, Worm-Like Fish. “There are millions of undiscovered species on Earth. In fact, by some estimates, nearly 90 percent of life on our planet hasn’t been formally described by science. Some of these unknown creatures are very small, like insects, others live in hard-to-reach areas, and many are hiding in plain sight. None of them have any kind of social […]

  14. "Solving a practical problem has merit as an organizing principle. However, traditional research funding systems rarely adopt this approach when selecting what science to support."

  15. Here's a nice bit of Citizen Science anyone can get involved in! WooHoo!

  16. NASA: Volunteer Develops Machine-Learning Tool to Identify Rare Clouds. “Certain kinds of clouds are misbehaving – appearing more often and lower in the sky than they used to. To help identify the factors influencing these changes (e.g. shifts in Earth’s long-term weather patterns), scientists have asked people around the world with cameras to submit fresh images of these clouds as a part […]

  17. Forschen und dabei selbst zum Schutz von Bächen beitragen: Genau das ermöglicht das #CitizenScience-Projekt #FLOW, an dem Forschende der #UniJena, des @ufz und vom @idiv arbeiten.

    Am 14. August hat Bundesumweltminister Carsten Schneider das Projekt an der Gera in Erfurt-Bischleben besucht und gemeinsam mit Engagierten die Gewässergüte untersucht.
