I had a big feature on the citizen science boom last month in @CWF_FCF magazine. All done pre-COVID. Last third is about how this week, marking Earth Day and all, was going to be a huge for citizen science. Good news! It turns out there's still some stuff happening... 1/4

For example, just the other day I got an update from the indefatigable @davehireland asking me to spread the word that the City Nature Challenge is still on, albeit with a COVID-adapted format: https://citynaturechallenge.org/ ... 2/4

Meanwhile, the global app-reporting Earth Challenge 2020, led by @EarthDayNetwork, is happening. On COVID, they note: "the app enables individuals to participate in authentic environmental research from the safety of their homes." https://earthchallenge2020.earthday.org/  3/4

That's two of the big ones. Basically, if you can do it from home, do it remotely, without crowding into others, it's worth it. And speaking of worth it, here's the story that started this thread. Subscribe to CWF for access to their art and layout. https://brian.eco/everybody-counts/ 4/4
