This month’s ASC event in SA welcomed a panel comprising Prof Chris Daniels and Philip Roetman from UniSA and James Smith from FauNature, to discuss the value of citizen science in scientific projects such as Operations Spider, Magpie and Possum.
Extensive data collection is possible by involving the wider community (particularly non-scientists) in scientific projects. We discovered how easily we can help to inform scientists, learn more about the environment, and promote interaction with nature by attracting wildlife to our own backyards.
In association with the South Australian branch of Australian Science Communicators.
