• #102 - Michelle Neil | CitSciOz25 | A Catalyst for Change

  The pace of change in citizen science is exhilarating, and I’ve had the privilege of being at its forefront through my roles in the Australian Citizen Science Association and the Great Southern BioBlitz. With our upcoming conference, CitSciOz25, just around the corner, there’s a renewed sense of purpose and momentum in our work.Since the last major conference in November 2023, we’ve expanded our outreach with initiatives like citizen science corners for libraries and collaborations with groups monitoring the Great Barrier Reef. Internationally, we’ve contributed to the United Nations’ World Environment Situation Room and are preparing for potential participation in the UN Environmental Program’s next conference in NairobiMore Informationhttps://citizenscience.org.au/https://questagame.com/https://www.frogid.net.au/https://earthwatch.org/https://inaturalist.ala.org.au/https://observer.globe.gov/https://litterintelligence.org/https://openlittermap.com/https://www.snapsendsolve.com/https://scistarter.org/loss-of-the-nighthttps://citizenscience.org.au/citscioz25/https://www.greatsouthernbioblitz.org/https://wesr.unep.org/article/citizen-sciencehttps://www.anecdata.org/projects/view/588/abouthttps://map.opensourcesoundscapes.org/view-areahttps://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/2730-marine-metre-squaredhttps://www.cooloolacoastcare.org.au/projects/bioblitz/past-bioblitzes/bioblitz2024Contact the ShowWe are always looking for more guests to tell us about interesting citizen science projects, research and events.You can email us at: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

• #100 - STOP KILLING SHARKS

  For our 100th episode of The Citizen Science Show Podcast, we brought together a group of passionate shark advocates to talk about an issue too few Australians know exists: our ongoing government-sponsored shark cull. Each of us has come to this work from different backgrounds—filmmaking, engineering, science communication—but we’re united by our dedication to the ocean and the species that call it home.So join our host, Ian (aka Captain Crackers), with special guests, Andre Borell, Ali Beikzadeh and Sarah Han-de-Beaux as we talk sharks. Also in the mix we have hosts Dani and Mark to add to the conversation.More Informationhttps://www.envoy.foundation/projects/envoy-shark-cullhttps://spotashark.com/Contact The [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
