This brings up a very important topic in #STEM and #AcademicChatter ... good #SciComm skills.

[Troi Perkins @theTroi]

Q4.What is the most unexpected #BioBlitz observation you've seen or heard of?

#CitSciChat

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

@theTroi Museum of Life and Science on a school trip if I remember correctly... been a while #CitSciChat

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

@Idkwthiam Not yet but hopefully over winter break I’ll find a good one!

[Adam Bowen @Idkwthiam]

Q7) How do you think gamified projects that are not based in a geographic area can directly give back to the public that participates in them?

Q5. Tell us about a project that was particularly successful at achieving its goals. Why was it so?

#CitSciChat #citsci #CitizenScience #wildlife #conservation

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

In the literature? Probably, I feel like emotional appeal is not valued on review boards. Might even be discouraged as detracting from the 'hardness' of the science.

[Sebastián Zárate @zarate_vasquez]

The challenge could be to generate spaces in which science could interact more with art. @LuisRomeroSN do you think that science has issues generating empathy?

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

Feel free to continue engaging throughout the day as I am sure people will tune in later *YAWN* after they've had some coffee! #CitSciChat

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

That concludes the questions for today! Thank you so, so much to the guest panelists @cobi_mx @FinnDanielsen & @ElliTheobald for contributing their opinions, examples, & experiences! Hopefully this will help us all to go forward and elevate #community #CitSci

@nl_esch A10 Keep making it easier to participate. Link similar projects in different regions to maximize impact. Smartphones are everywhere, data collection continues to get cheaper. How do we get the most out of this data? #CitSciChat

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

Know of any places where #CitSci leaders can go to engage in forming collaborations w other #CitizenScience project leaders who are looking to connect projects together/share data?

@nl_esch A9 Co-created #CitSci projects may provide #indigenous peoples a ‘voice’, which can be VERY important. Key is the process is anchored in and led by the indigenous communities #CitSciChat

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

Important when consulting any minority group from the outside to allow yourself to be a platform for their voices rather than speaking for them! Love it!

Q10. What do you see as the most promising next steps for #action-oriented #communitybased #citizenscience? #CitSciChat

[COBI A.C. @cobi_mx]

@nl_esch A9 Indigenous and local communities have a huge amount of knowledge about their surroundings where they live and work. The #citsci process can help provide structure to data collection that already occurs, but should always respect the needs of the community. #CitSciChat

[Elli Theobald @ElliTheobald]

@nl_esch A9: Maybe. But really, we need to reject that there is one way to do science. Citizen science rejects that there is one definition of who is a scientist but does not reject that there is one way to do science. #CitSciChat

[Finn Danielsen @FinnDanielsen]

@iamrajdaniel @CoopSciScoop @citscicauvdelta @nl_esch Daniel: Central is that the CitSci projects are developed together with the local communities and from the very beginning fitted into the local nat res governance context. Requires a lot of effort but the benefits can also be huge! #CitSciChat

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

Do you think there is potential (or examples) of #citsci in oil and gas industry? I wonder if the people working there would be receptive to showing how their extractive work affects the environment? Conflict of interest?
#CitSciChat

[Finn Danielsen @FinnDanielsen]

@nl_esch A8 Probably in *all* areas where communities utilize the environment and living resources on a daily basis. Observing the environment is part of the survival strategy in many communities who depend on nat res for their livelihood #CitSciChat

[Nicole Esch @nl_esch]

Q9. Can #citizenscience methods be useful for bringing #indigenous knowledge into #naturalresource management led by non-indigenous groups? #CitSciChat
