5,000 Observations!
I have uploaded over 5,000 observations to INaturalist as of today. It has been nearly two years since I first got involved with this amazing citizen science outlet and contributing to it today feels as exciting as it did when I first started. Not only am I able to making a difference by helping progress scientific research through INaturalist, but I am learning so much about the animals that I encounter as I explore their worlds. As an aspiring zoologist, this is simply thrilling to me. I must make a big shout out to Greg Pauly of the Los Angeles Natural History Museum and Founder of the Reptiles and Amphibians of Southern California (RASCals) INaturalist project. I remember when he came to the Southwestern Herpetologist Society to give a talk about the RASCals project and talked about how he was doing important research with INaturalist data and how this data is created by ordinary people. It was then that I learned about INaturalist and that I became interested in getting involved. Looking back on it now, I am very glad I did.
