Mostly good! Wondering how 2026 will turn out with the London/Paris combination (all depends on project proposals that are in evaluation).

Johannes iNat is an interface between people and nature, recording an encounter with nature. Powerful way of thinking about it. There are lots of motivations, but getting an identification is a top motivation. The more present the first response on the system, the longer someone stays. That is core.

Quentin pointing about the use of the data, and not taking up citizen science Dara. CS not always focus on the most policy relevant data. There are challenges of privacy of people and what the data will used for.

AI has potential in helping in data validation, but it should be done carefully. It can amplify benefits but also errors. We can't ignore AI but need to address errors. For example false positives in biodiversity. AI can create them. In iNat, there can be problems in uncurated training data

Also demonstrated how more information about biodiversity can be extracted from existing observations, such as which plants an insect is associated with.

Quentin Groom, citizen scientists are doing work in order to achieve something - giving something back. Example from Montserrat bioblitz, used iNat as a data collection platform. Explaining licencing is difficult and you need to build trust regarding use of data. Bioblitz increases use of the app.

Changing nature is a collaboration between @mfnberlin.bsky.social and MNHN with different focus - anthropocene in Berlin and environment in Paris. There are challenges of challenges in data management and standardisation.

Alicia shares the history of mosaïc, created in 2020 with digital capabilities to develop and support participatory projects. For example SpiPoll, which allows monitoring of pollinators and supports showing the data that was collected, and improved process management.
