Last week, SC author and naturalist Drew Lanham came to Charleston for a series of events that clearly touched everyone who was fortunate enough to hear him speak.
In fact, he got a bunch of folks talking about the impact we could have as “citizen scientists.”
By collecting and sharing observations and “data”, we can all contribute to scientific understanding and progress.
Here are a number of projects for anyone interested in giving citizen science a try.
