Is there an example of "citizen science" on FF? Not scientists collaborating, but non-scientists or amateur scientists pulling data about some aspect of nature together here? - Bora Zivkovic

Related to that (and that can be a separate submission to the same issue of the journal), what are the online social networks that put together data collected by amateur scientists? - Bora Zivkovic

I am aware of a few projects, for instance: - Bora Zivkovic

In a few weeks time, I'll be appearing as a guest on Science Hour with Dr Kiki http://www.kirstensanford.com/ to talk about citizen science. This to me seems like an appropriate thread on FF to mention during the show. I'll update the thread once a date has been formally scheduled for the show which like the last one http://is.gd/2UPZk, will be broadcast live on the web. - Graham Steel

That is fantastic, Graham. Keep us posted. - Bora Zivkovic
