EDIT: Thanks for all the questions everyone. We appreciate you all
stopping by! We are now going to stop answering in real-time, but we
will stop back over the next few days to see if additional questions
come in. Hi Everyone! Did you know that the vast majority of
biodiversity museum specimens rarely see the light of day? They are
stored in the back rooms of museums where few people get to see them or
use them for scientific research. These billions specimens are housed in
natural history collections around the world, where they are carefully
curated according to centuries old methods. While this care has
successfully preserved important collections for decades to centuries,
it is now time to bring 21st century approaches to the sharing of this
treasure trove. The primary topic of our conversation today will be a
citizen science based transcription platform called Notes From Nature.
Notes From Nature is a project that brings together people from around
the world to help mobilize biodiversity information. These are experts
and non-experts alike. We deal specifically with specimens from natural
history museums (think of animal skins and dried, pressed plant
specimens). These specimens are generally of interest to researchers and
are not often seen by the public. However, the line between ``the
public'' and domain scientists has always been grey when it comes to
natural history, since informally trained people have made huge
contributions to the study of biodiversity for a very long time. We will
also touch on related areas such as the technology side of our field
(called informatics), software tools that are being developed to
accelerate digitization of museum specimens, data standards and the
semantic web. We are also very interested in the research that is being
done with the data and specimens that are being mobilized and how this
research can be used to answer many of the major biodiversity questions
of our time. We should probably mention that we are not experts in
citizen science but we work with many people who are. In fact our
collaborators at the Zooniverse did an AMA about a year ago
(https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1pvge6/we\_are\_the\_zooniverse\_the\_worlds\_most\_awesome\_and/).
We are very passionate about our work and love to talk to people about
our field. Ultimately we hope that you all will get excited and will
become more involved as well. We will be back at 1 pm ET (10 am PT, 5 pm
UTC) to answer your questions, Ask Us Anything!%
