    Possibly of interest to gifted adults... also to children for field trips, high school students looking for a project, or college students seeking an interesting individual or group activity: myriad opportunities to participate in citizen science.

    There are several groups which seek to coordinate efforts, or volunteers may contact a project directly, in an area of their interest.

    https://www.citizenscience.org/

    Citizen science gathers anecdotal evidence: observations and experiences.

    Just a few examples:

    mentions scientific value of the data, data quality, reliability, accuracy, peer-reviewed scientific articles and publications, and that the data provided may be used to inform resource management and strategy -

    DD did this on the way and back on our Antarctica trip. They counted birds. It was a fun activity since it was a 2 day trip each way. And also to learn the birds there.
