Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum “Sips with Scientists” Ken-ichi Ueda (co-founder of iNat): https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_o4JBLUWeRIm1mhBDEvvGzQ
Join the Desert Museum's Education Manager, Catherine Bartlett, as she interviews scientists from around the world- and not necessarily about their area of expertise! Be silly. Be surprised. BYOB. This week we’ll meet Ken-ichi Ueda, who co-founded and currently co-directs iNaturalist, a website for nature nerds.
Ken-ichi has been fascinated by nature for as long as he can recall. He used to horrify his mom by waltzing into the house holding snakes and salamanders to show her. Eventually, he translated that love into a degree in biology. Since then, he’s worked as a GIS technician, web developer, and wildlife technician. iNaturalist grew out of the belief that he might not be alone in his desire to combine nature and the Web. iNat has rendered that belief unnecessary. In his spare time, he enjoys watching TV shows with spaceships.

Educator Webinar: Citizen Science - The Digital Classroom Gets Outside
https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/167491?fbclid=IwAR0SY-13Ek14rcgyWhKZLqNdN5z5c6aALExIGBzqe683nevojn-ecQxc5X0
Join educators from the Arizona Game and Fish Department as we explore iNaturalist and other digital citizen science tools. Through iNaturalist, educators and students can document animals and plants that they see anywhere in the world, including their own neighborhood. By using existing features within the program, teachers can create class projects that can connect student observations, even if they aren't in the same room! They can even contribute to other projects hosted by both professional and amateur scientists from around the world, such as our upcoming City Nature Challenge.
