Holy Cow! I Am a Citizen Scientist
A$13.05
Holy Cow! I recently learned I too, am a Citizen Scientist. This book is a somewhat humorous and personal introduction to the amazing world of citizen science. Using an existing citizen science program, called Australasian Fishes as a guide, it introduces the reader to changes in how science has evolved from the dedicated hobbyist period of Darwin and Franklin to the era of the professional scientist today. We live in a Golden Age of Exploration when new discoveries are made daily. You too can become an explorer, regardless of background or training. It is also a time when many of the tools of professional research are available to all. Using these tools, in the pursuit of a citizen science project, everyone can assist and support the professional scientific community, and have fun while doing it. The book also contains many brief Bio Blurbs of existing professional and citizen scientists, who have worked to make Australasian Fishes a success. Furthermore, you may decide to start your own citizen science project and will find the background experience of projects like Australasian Fishes to be helpful, as we share the lessons learned for future citizen science research projects. It’s fun to be a citizen scientist!
