Digitization allows researchers, educators, and the public worldwide to access collections that were once limited to physical museums or field notes. #communityscience #scistarter #ScienceForEveryone #OpenScienceForAll #EveryoneCanDoScience #globaltcn #zooniverse

Physical specimens, handwritten notes, and field records can degrade or be lost. Digitization preserves this information permanently and protects it from damage. #wedigbio #biodiversity #communityscience #communityscientist #naturalhistory #science #scienceforall #scistarter #scienceforeveryone

Digital records help monitor changes over time-such as shifts caused by climate change, habitat loss, or invasive species. This allows for predicting future impacts. #wedigbio #biodiversity #communityscience #naturalhistory #science #scienceforall #scistarter #scienceforeveryone #fieldmuseum

Digital platforms allow anyone—from students to citizen scientists—to explore biodiversity, contribute observations, and better understand the natural world. #communityscience #scistarter #ScienceForEveryone #OpenScienceForAll #EveryoneCanDoScience #globaltcn #fieldmuseum #zooniverse

Digitizing biodiversity turns scattered, vulnerable information into a powerful, shared resource that helps us understand & protect life on Earth more effectively. #communityscience #scistarter #ScienceForEveryone #OpenScienceForAll #EveryoneCanDoScience #globaltcn #fieldmuseum #zooniverse

Help biodiversity efforts by mobilizing thousands of natural history records, and make your mark on community-led science.

🔍 If you're getting ready for the CNC, or are interested in joining bioblitzes in your community this year, here is a simple guide on how to use inaturalist.

🤳 iNaturalist is a community science platform used to upload and identify nature observations.

Last day to register for the #ColumbusBotanicalGarden Naturalist Symposium Speaker Day, with keynote speaker Janisse Ray. I'll be starting the day to talk about #CommunityScience, @inaturalist.bsky.social , and noticing more nature wherever you are. 💚 www.columbusbotanicalgarden.org/naturalist-s...

@inaturalist.bsky.social wants help adding annotations to observations, which can be done at iNaturalist.org, to track phenology- seasonal changes and when they occur.
