Citizen Science and Contributing To Scientific Endeavor When You're Not "A Scientist"

Comments on some of my posts about science and misinformation express frustration with scientific establishments, and want to see more accessibility and attention given to amateurs participating in the scientific process and having their scientific voices heard.

If being involved in the creation of knowledge and discovery is something important to you, that's something I strongly encourage! It's absolutely possible. Amateur researchers with a passion and an eye for detail have made some fantastic discoveries - but what is often glossed over in stories like these are the years of work, the patient dedication, and the collaboration with university researchers that often underlie such discoveries.

The search for truth and information and the passion for science is present in a lot of people who aren't official "scientists" - curiosity is natural! And if participation in scientific observation, hypothesizing, experimentation, and discovering new things about the world is important to you, there are lots of ways to go about contributing - and the new year is a great time to start.

What are you interested in?

Ecology

Observing the world around you is for everybody. Getting invested in the environment of your hometown is for everybody. And, as the Mythbusters famously said,

Some ideas for a local ecology project:

Record the temperature outside every day at the same time - at sunrise, or noon, or sunset, or midnight. Depending on where you are, the local weather recording station may be miles away or on top of a mountain - measure the temperature yourself and compare it each day to what your app says. When is it accurate? When isn't it?

Record the weather every day. How much precipitation? What time of day? What kind?

Record what animals you see every day, where, when, and how many. Or choose a specific animal, like birds, or bees on flowers, or turtles or frogs in a local pond, or whiptail lizards vs. invasive house geckos, and record the numbers you see each day.

Record when in the year you see the first, or last, of a plant or animal. When the crocuses sprout, when the buds appear on the maple trees, when you see the first clover flowers or prickly pear flowers, when the first robin comes out or the first lizards come out of hibernation.

If you have an outdoor cat or a free-roaming dog, attach a GoPro or similar small camera to its collar to see where it goes and what it does.

Identify the plants growing in your neighborhood, and check in on it regularly to keep track of how each one fares in different weather conditions, or if any animals particularly like or don't like to eat it.

Bulk order some test strips, then take a small sample of soil from a local park or water from a local waterway each weekend and test them for PH, lead, chemicals, or whatever. See if it changes over the year, or after a heavy rainfall, or during drought.

Take a photo of the same spot every day for a year.

Linguistics

The study of how people use language! Everybody uses language in some capacity.

Do you have any small children near you? Talk to them! Record how they pronounce things and what they call new (or even familiar) concepts. Look for patterns.

Ask people you know if "dog" and "blog" rhyme, or if "Alohop" is a good pun for a pineapple beer. My family gets ENDLESS amounts of mileage out of this one with each other. Ask people you know questions about how they pronounce things, or what they call things. Make maps of dialectical differences between generations, neighborhoods, etc. Track linguistic shifts in the modern world.

History

Everyone and everywhere has a history, and accurate history is pressingly relevant always.

See if you have a local historical society, library archive, or history museum that is looking for volunteers to transcribe or translate collections.

Get elbow-deep in local archives. You likely have some sort of local archive near you that has not been fully digitized. Go in with a topic you want to learn about - Black families, Jewish communities, how your hometown transferred from Indigenous hands to settler ones, women who owned their own businesses, immigration, inter-racial relationships, sports, ice harvesting, farming practices, contemporary opinions on a major world history event that now seems so inevitable, sports and people's reactions to sports - and read everything in newspapers, wills, deeds, photographs, or other available records about your topic of choice. See if you can find connections that you haven't seen anyone else talking about.

These are just some things that occur to me immediately as something that anyone can do, if you're sufficiently interested in a question and want to discover more about it. The more local your topic, the less likely anyone has a solid answer to whatever you're wondering - and the more immediately relevant to the people around you your discoveries may be!

Combining it with a New Year's Resolution can also get you more motivated to do the things you want to do. Is your resolution to get more exercise? Take a brisk walk each morning and take a picture of the same area every day for a year. Take a walk every weekend down to the lake and count the turtles and frogs you see. Is your resolution to keep a daily diary For Real This Time? If nothing else, resolve to write down the weather and precipitation each day! Do you want to volunteer more or meet new people? Look for citizen science or local history groups! Feeling like you're working toward something Real is a great motivator.

Henry David Thoreau's detailed descriptions of the nature each day around Walden Pond in the 1840s provides a valuable benchmark for modern ecologists to compare environmental and climatic changes since then on a granular level. Silly rhyming poems and idiosyncratic spellings in letters and diaries help linguists track dialectical and pronunciation changes across time. Amateur science is great and valuable! We all can have a part in understanding and paying deeper attention to the world around us, if we want to.

#been sitting on this one for a while ever since I kept getting comments on my post about misinformation about how scientists are all #ivory tower eggheads who don't allow real normal people to Contribute to Science #Please contribute to science! I think everyone who wants to should!!!#science #citizen science

more Ring stuff!

Since Wilds fight with Calamity Ganon, he has seeped deep within the ground and has ruined the land, hence the desert

Continuing with that, Calamity Ganons malice is stronger than before!

He has infected every water source, forcing each race to adapt to the water over generations and forcing the Zora to evolve so they can inhabit said water

Inside Vah Ruta is an ancient (clean) water source that Ring finds on his second or third journey, i haven’t decided which one yet

Malice blobs are much more common to find just hanging about and they form new enemies that are similar to chuchus, but think of the searchers from Bendy and the Ink Machine

Now onto food!

Rings world has desert based foods like prickly pear cactus, and those flower buds i forgot the name of

He also has crystalized malice blobs that are dropped when one of the malice enemies die

Due to malice practically being in everything, Ring is probs gonna taste Wilds food and be like “why does it taste weird??”

that’s all for now!

IUPWEGFOIGER GOD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND YOU'VE PUT SO MUCH DETAIL INTO HIM I LOVE IT I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE-

Monster March 2023 Day 4- Alraune

Blooms Of Life

Always thanks to @borealwrites for their Monster March 2023 prompt list. As well as to @catbatart for their's too. A short and sweet one again. Enjoy.

Monster March Day 4- Alraune

Blooms of Life

You excitedly flitted around to all the different cacti in your chosen “territory”. You were an alraune with a very important job. Making sure that these cacti would bloom at just the right moment to feed the millions of hummingbirds as they would migrate from the southern continents to the northern one and they were all counting on you and the others in the area to have the blooms on the cacti at night as they would fly over and need to stop and “refill” before continuing on.

You had spent all winter nurturing your cacti since the fall migration. And now it was practically spring, and the migration of those precious little jewels would happen again. And you counted on the message getting relayed so that, like a wave, flowers would bloom to feed the birds during the migration, as they migrated over the area.

The blooms had already budded and you made sure that each one was going to be a perfect prickly pear by autumn. You made sure that each bloom had more than enough nectar that would rapidly refill to supply a nearly endless stream of it for the hummingbirds coming, the little flying jewels you had a hand in caring for.

It used to be that you could count down to the very heartbeat of time they would come. But due to global warming, and other weather phenomena, it was getting harder and harder to keep doing this and do it on time when these precious little jewels would need it most. You knew each species by heart, and over the years, you had seen so many generations of hummingbirds come through. And while the little jewels had such tiny little lifetimes- only really compared to your own, but it was the beauty that they brought, the service of pollination that they did, and the joy of watching them that made all the work so worthwhile and satisfying.

You supposed it would be easier to live anywhere else. Where the climate was better, where there were more varieties of blooms to enjoy. But these blooms that you created in the cacti were the very blooms of life for these little jewels. That and the prickly pears these cacti made in the fall were particularly delicious and keeping them fresh all year round was well worth the effort to keep them that way through your own magic.

You really enjoyed that while the hummingbirds were small, they were fierce and had big personalities to match their bright colors. And many generations of them often remembered each alraune on their migration by name! And you knew them by name, mentally keeping tabs of who gave birth to who every year. And on the really rough years, keeping the blooms up and blooming just in case the hummingbirds actually needed to stop and roost and nest. You had cleared every roost in every place you had before, most of them within the many cacti itself. And thanks to a little trickery with the larger land dwellers, you had gotten ahold of a hummingbird feeder and a whole container of concentrated nectar and you had your own special basin in the cacti to mix in should any injured or sick hummingbird need the extra care and assistance.

You had collected many a thread, and many a little smooth thorn that wouldn’t harm the little jewels- should any of them need a brace for a broken leg, or a broken wing. And there was a sanctuary not too far away that you could magic the little jewels, should they require more than what you could offer and give because many of the land dwellers liked to help the little jewels too.

But today meant that besides ensuring the buds would bloom on time, there was not much left for you to do except to wait. And you invited the others that had finished getting ready to come to your main cacti home.

The top of the cacti had it’s thorns removed, with only the buds remaining on the top. You pulled out a preserved prickly pear and began to slice it up for the guests that were soon to arrive as the sun set over the desert. It’s vast flatness, interrupted only by majestic mountains in the far distance. The sunset painted everything that it’s gorgeous light touched in splashes of purple, orange, red, yellow, bits of green and blue as the stars started to come out as you sat between the buds of the cacti and stared up at the stars, noticing how beautiful they could be in the desert, when- as small as your world felt like most of the time, it was good to remind oneself how much bigger everything was. And how when you felt like you were so small, how important you were. How important every little thing was. Even when they didn’t personally always see it all the time.

Then the others came over to join you as you all laid out on the top of the cacti to watch the stars move across the sky and the world turned underneath it.

“Any word on how soon until the hummingbirds come?” You asked the others who had come as you took a piece of succulent from a friend who had gathered quite a bit of it from a patch of hen and chicks in their territory while you took an offered peace as more and more of you arrived and gathered on this cacti, around a crown of buds, only several days away from blooming, but had been many weeks of waiting and watching as the buds themselves grew since the buds themselves could take months to develop.

All of you were eager to trade little food items for others as it seemed everyone brought a little bit of everything that could be found in the area for nearly miles around while everyone else seemed to look over the buds and appreciate where yours were in the stage of growing and could begin to bloom, as others down south, whose buds were literally only a day or two away from fully blooming.

“I asked the others, and they still think it will be more or less on time, maybe a day or two early or, most likely a day or two late, but nothing like weeks or even a month or two late.” She offered apologetically between bites of the agave she brought to share since her territory was closer to an agave farm.

“Well I’m glad I haven’t rushed my blooms then- this year.” You noted as you bit into the juicy piece of succulent, savoring it’s juicy yet crunchy texture and taste.

“Me too. Remember when they came early and we all had to rush to get the blooms open and then it rained and they got delayed? That was awful.” Another recalled.

“Not as bad as that one winter when we had no rain so getting any nectar in the flowers was like pulling it up from the water reservoirs ourselves through one big straw made out of a hollowed out bearded spines of the old man cacti.” Another recollected.

“A curly straw, the big people call those things curly straws.” One of the other alraunes who lived right outside of one of the home developments offered as you rolled your eyes in annoyance at the correction. It used to be that the sight of the big people would cause you all to hide yourselves and your prickly pears and even your blooms from them- for fear they would just take and destroy and not leave anything for everything else. But lately, at least with the large persons that lived around these parts now, they showed with their actions they were trying to conserve and preserve rather than take. Which was a relief to all.

“Do even the big people know yet? They can usually tell pretty well too.” You asked them.

“No. Some of the people in the development have even put out their feeders and nothin so far, nothing but ants eager to get the sweet nectar water.” Thasia shook her head no.

“But you have your feeder and your nectar right?” Anasi asked you.

“I do. But I want to keep it in case of emergencies. And so far…it’s been a decent year so I don’t think I’ll need it. But it’s always better to have it and not need it- than need it and be without it, like those really bad drought years. Water was so hard to come by, my cacti nearly didn’t make it several times.” You confirmed.

“And you?” You asked the others that came over to share this meal with you.

“I’ve tried. The big people make the feeders so heavy. And the bottles of nectar are equally hard to get to because we have to sneak into the big places where they have all the plants in little pots and sprout from the flowers inside the big places to get that stuff out. But hopefully, I’ve heard from others out west, that much rain has come and is continuing to come our way, so maybe this will be a year where we’ll get all the water we need and then some extra for the seasons, years and decades to come.” Phillia offered.

“And hopefully, getting the feeders and the nectar from the large ones will be worth the effort in the long run.” You encouraged.

You all sat around the buds, eating and enjoying each other’s company as you all reminisced about the old times, had hopes about the near future and plans for the coming seasons until you heard a cry that all of you immediately found your feet and then took the air to meet and answer the call.

“They’re coming! They’re going to be on time this year! I’ve just heard news from further south in the rainforests! The rains are coming in from the west and while some places will flood, we will get the rains we need! And the flowers will bloom at just the right time for the hummingbirds!” Nerin announced as all of you cheered and then hurried back to your territories to finish up last minute preparations and make sure that all the buds would bloom right on time as you could already feel all the rains coming in from the many interconnected root systems.

The night came, and just as you heard the call, all of the buds bloomed all on their own before the sounds of millions hummingbirds beating their wings as fast as your own wings could flutter was music to your ears.

You greeted old friends, met new ones as your favorite hummingbirds practically flew straight to you and your cacti to feed and refuel on their journey as you were happy to have them and happy that the blooms gave them all the nectar they wanted and needed as they helped carry pollen from one to another as they flew and flittered between them to feed as much as they could before taking to the air with the others, as it was just an unstoppable wave after wave of them came as you were happy to try to de-mite as many as you could, your little spikes filled with the little parasites that were your own version of “hunting” and “meat" for the season to not only be mutually beneficial but kept the health of the hummingbirds that much better.

And when to see the last of them go, filled you with both a sense of pride, yet bittersweetness, because you knew it would be another 6 months or so before you saw them again when they flew back through to go home in the rainforests. But for now, you had your blooms to fade so that pears would grow in their places and the intense summer heat to endure.

Celebrating Another Year

On Monday morning, to celebrate her birthday, Nancy and I headed out to Saguaro East for one of our regular visits to check out what’s going on with all the natural features. We were surprised to see some blossoms appearing already on the saguaros. The buds we expected, but not the flowers. Usually they don’t come along until May, and since it’s been dry for a while, we did not think there would be any.

Another surprise was the prolific blossoming of the ocotillo. Again, due to the lack of recent rain we did not think they would be quite as healthy and red. The lack of precipitation was reflected in the lack of leaves along the ocotillo stems. Some were flush with green, but many of the leaves were yellow, and some of the stems were entirely bare, with only the blossoms indicating any life at all.

The yellow brittlebush was everywhere, along the sides of the loop road, across the wide expanses, everywhere. While the wildflowers near home have already started to fade, the brittlebush is flourishing.

Finally, the prickly pear were beginning to blossom. There are lots of buds in evidence, even new pads, but not too many flowers. Those will be coming along with the saguaro flowers over the next month or so, no doubt.

A new feature of this visit was Nancy’s use of a camera other than her iPhone. With some recent closet-cleaning happening, I mentioned the old Nikon D3000 that’s been stashed away for several years and wondered what I might do with it. Nancy expressed an interest in trying it out, and she took to it quite enthusiastically.

That evening we had guests Joe and Vicky over for some chicken marsala, rice and green beans. Vicky brought along a cake she made, complete with candles, and we enjoyed a pleasant evening together.

We took Tuesday off, spending pretty much the entire day without going anywhere. Mainly because we had already planned a busy Wednesday to continue Nancy’s birthday celebrating. Those plans included a trip with friends Denise and Nanalee down to the Sonoita area to visit to some wineries and have lunch at the Velvet Elvis in Patagonia.

It wasn’t going to be a picture-taking kind of day, but Nancy and I did take a short walk around our neighborhood in the morning with our cameras. We ran into Tom McNamara, host of “Arizona Illustrated” on the local PBS station down on the Loop. He and a crew were filming a feature, using the new riverside mural as a backdrop. He said to watch for the feature on May 14.

Azerothian Botany Masterpost: 100 Herbs of WoW

Preface: Three years ago, I wrote my very first botany post. Inspired by the dozens upon dozens of herb gathering quests I came across as I leveled, I set out to catalogue every single plant in WoW lore. Three years later, I’ve officially covered 100 and somehow still only barely scratched the surface of Azeroth’s flora. Though I have no plans to stop anytime soon, I figured I’d at least put together a masterpost on what I’ve done so far.

While this is my main lore blog, I’ve recently switched over to posting my botany posts on azerothianbotany to better organize them. You can find the links to every plant I’ve covered thus far in this post, but if you’re looking for something more specific (e.g. a poisonous plant or a magical plant), azerothianbotany has pages that categorize the plants based on their rarity, edibility, uses, etc.

Here’s to another 100!
