WeDigBio Thank You and Another Milestone for Notes from Nature Thanks to all that contributed to WeDigBio! Notes from Nature received over 11,100 classifications during the event. We finished the last day with over 3,500 classifications and we saw lots of activity in our California plants project.
There is still time to contribute to WeDigBio. @wedigbio.bsky.social It’s the last day of WeDigBio, but it’s not over yet. Thanks to all your help Notes from Nature has received almost 10,000 classifications since the start of the event. Click here to contribute: bit.ly/2dgEe91
Students stepped behind the scenes at the museum-not just to observe, but to contribute. From helping process collections to supporting real scientific work, this shows that science is something we can all be part of. #CitizenScienceMonth #scistarter #ScienceForEveryone #EveryoneCanDoScience
During our special volunteer-powered digitization event, a team from CHASE stepped out of the office and into the archives—working side by side with our collection managers to bring history into the digital age. #CitizenScientistMonth #wedigbio #biodiversity #communityscience #scistarter
WeDigBio still going strong. Visit Notes from Nature today to contribute! bit.ly/2dgEe91 blog.notesfromnature.org/2026/04/11/w...
