Assignment

As scientists, we use a lot of data from different areas. Citizen Science is a specific type of data - meaning that the data are collected by volunteers who are usually not trained scientists. Bird watchers, fishers, and gardeners who keep records of what they observe and see are all examples of biological citizen scientists. A big benefit of citizen science is that data can be collected over wide areas and long-time scales that would be impossible for the (relatively) few scientists working in each field to cover. However, citizen science needs to be done properly, with records carefully taken and the quality of observations checked.
