How Citizen Scientists are Contributing to Science

Abstract

Citizen Science is the system where every day citizens collect data that is used for scientific research. This phenomenon has exploded in the last ten years, thanks to large popular platforms like eBird, iNaturalist, and eButterfly. But how do these platforms work and how has the data contributed to science? We’ll take a look together and explore the exciting frontier of Citizen Science and how its contributing to our broader understanding of biodiversity and ecology.
