  1. @dubh When it's done right, people can make a huge difference to NZ's environment by spotting emergent weeds as they're beginning to establish.

    My favourite recent example is Dave Holland's discovery in 2020 of wild black swallow-wort on the edge of the Timaru Botanic Gardens. That was the first wild record of the species anywhere in NZ, and it's a wetland weed overseas. Timaru Council and Environment Canterbury staff stepped in with control, over several years, and now it's gone.

    That's one environmental weed nipped in the bud before it could get started.

  4. @pathunstrom i remember when citsci2017 made the difficult (from a logistics point of view) decision to move their conference due to discriminatory laws passed in NC. they were ahead of the curve (nearly a decade), given the situation today.

    i applaud that decision then and submit it as inspiration to other conferences to hopefully make the right decision now.

  5. As part of the European Citizen Science Academy and ECSA - European Citizen Science Association, we are developing a Citizen Science Competency framework for citizen science researchers and practitioners through participatory approaches with and for the beneficiaries.

  7. Our @OpenAIRE Zenodo resources for the European Citizen Science Academy are growing! We've just added a set of slides from talks about #CitizenScience for Early Career Researchers (#ECResearch, #PhDchat). Including material on participatory mapping, evaluation, when to use citizen science, and more! zenodo.org/communities/europea #ParticipatoryScience #ParticipatoryResearch

  11. I'll be giving a webinar to the Alberta Citizen Science Community of Practice citscialberta.com/, on the European landscape of #CitizenScience and #ParticipatoryScience. I'll provide background on the development, including the role of the European Environment Agency and DG R&I, present a range of projects and applications, and talk about current developments. #SciencePolicy #SciComm #EU #HorizonEurope us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist

  13. CITY NATURE CHALLENGE 2024!!!!

    Okay maybe I'm excited because I can finally stop doing IDs until my eyes cross, but also maybe because this was the BIGGEST CNC EVERRRRRRR.

    I even wrote a journal entry about it for our Monterey Bay Area CNC project. Dig this shit:

    inaturalist.org/posts/94087-th

    If you'd like more info about the Monterey Bay Area project, you'll get a lot from clicking this:

    Y'all up there in the SF Bay did a damn fine job this year, as usual (I mean goddamn, you and LA did *start* the thing):

  14. ✨MONTEREY AREA HOMIES!✨

    •TOMORROW, April 28th
    •10:00 AM until 1:00 PM

    We're coordinating this year with the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and the Monterey Peninsula Regional Parks District to host City Nature Challenge events at 3 different locations on the Peninsula! You can choose any park to join in: Locke Paddon Park in Marina, Laguna Grande Park in Seaside, and George Washington Park in Pacific Grove. Every location will have naturalists on hand to help with both technical and natural science inquiries. 🤳🏼🦄

    There's no fee or registration required; just show up with your phone/camera and a curious mind! You may also email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to help you. 📐

    More info can always be found at CityNatureChallenge.org 🛰️

  16. Sorry to miss the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this year, but observed a few birds in Paris instead. It's nice to see that is noted as #citizenscience activity (so the Observer expects readers to know what this is). Also noticed that the scale. it is arguably the largest citizen science globally in terms of population. theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #communityscience #participatoryscience #scicomm

  20. A new part of the UNESCO Open Science toolkit ‘Engaging societal actors in open science’! unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/

    This is a direct result of the citizen science and open science community of practice, which put a collaborative effort. This had resulted in a longer report on ‘Opening science to society’ zenodo.org/records/7472827 #citizenscience #participatoryscience #openscience

  25. So, who here is into iNaturalist? If you're not, you should be! If you are, my info is in my bio, should you wanna follow my observations.

    I'm also organizing the Monterey Bay area 2023 City Nature Challenge, so if you live in Monterey or Santa Cruz Counties and want more info, just ask!

  27. For #FungiFriday have a looksie at the time a few weeks ago when I found a bunch of Onion Earthball (#Scleroderma cepa) #mushrooms! Here's one I was documenting for #iNaturalist that *spontaneously* exploded ashy black spores all over my arm and chest (not in the face, thankfully😅).
