  1. ## Day 2 Monsoon Beauty 26

    On day 1 i was in a nice garden, surrounded by a larg area of green gardens. After a bit of patience saw a good number of insects, some spiders, cultivated & (a few)wild plants.

    2 highlights are here mastodon.social/@ramkay/116925

    Today was harder, different place less plants - so took some searching to find something. Eventually got a restng butterfly ?

  7. For folks in Michigan, the Michigan Bat Roost Monitoring Program (MBRMP) is looking for some monitoring help this summer.

    "The MBRMP is looking for community scientists who are interested in monitoring roosting bats on their property or on public land to provide us with information about their roost sites and the bats that are using them."

  14. #Webinar - #Marsh and #Stream Explorers: A Treasure Hunt to Find Healthy Freshwater #Habitats in #Maine

    Apr 22 2026
    7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    "Curious about what critters live in your local streams and freshwater marshes? Come learn about Maine Marsh and Stream Explorers, a collaborative #CommunityScience project between #MaineAudubon and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (#MEDEP). This program trains volunteers to survey for #macroinvertebrates, or large #AquaticInsects, in streams and freshwater #marshes statewide. With many macroinvertebrates sensitive to temperature, #pollutants, and other environmental stressors, their presence or absence serve as an important indicator of overall wetland health. This data then becomes an invaluable screening tool for #MaineDEP to prioritize where more-indepth water quality assessments should be conducted.

    "In this webinar you’ll learn about what the Marsh and Stream Explorers project has accomplished and its impact on water quality monitoring statewide. We’ll look at our overall results, share our successes, and talk about future goals of the project. If you’re interested in getting outdoors, learning something new, and protecting your local watershed, this community science project is for you! Come learn more about how you can get involved. In-person field training for survey techniques to follow."

  16. During our special volunteer-powered digitization event, a team from CHASE stepped out of the office and into the archives—working side by side with our collection managers to bring history into the digital age. From cataloging to capturing, every click helps preserve stories for generations to come.

  18. Students from Wheaton Montesorri stepped behind the scenes at the museum—not just to observe, but to contribute. From helping process collections to supporting real scientific work, this trip showed that science isn’t limited to labs or experts—it’s something we can all be part of. #CitizenScienceMonth #MuseumLearning #ScienceForAll #communityscience, #scistarter, #ScienceForEveryone #OpenScienceForAll #EveryoneCanDoScience #globaltcn, #fieldmuseum

  32. Talked to SFGATE about this year's super-early Joshua tree bloom, the lab's call for help tracking it on iNaturalist, and what it may mean for our favorite spiky desert plants

    Joshua trees are flowering in the Calif. desert. That’s bad news.

  34. Hooray! After four years of working on a paper that describes how the @ECSA Characteristics of Citizen Science were created, it is out. Describing the process, explaining the different domains, and explaining the relationships with ECSA 10 principles. There are plenty of useful things there. It is a useful partner to the Counters of Citizen Science paper from 2021 open-research-europe.ec.europa #CitizenScience #CommunityScience #Science #Research

  35. Suite à la volonté de INaturalist de travailler avec l' IA générative via Gemini et Google au détriment de l'analyse et du partage humain, j'ai supprimé mon compte INat...
    Il y a beaucoup d'experts sur ce site et c'est vraiment dommage de partir, mais on ne peut pas prétendre apporter de la connaissance naturaliste et valoriser un fonctionnement clairement destructeur comme cela 😞
