Informatics Horizons: Scratchpads & Citizen Science

This is the first of my talks from the Informatics Horizons event at the Natural History Museum, London covering some work we have been on linking Scratchpads and Citizen Science. The video of the talk is on YouTube:

Scratchpads & Citizen Science from Edward Baker

The talk summarises what we have done with citizen science in Scratchpads so far, particularly the following projects and events:

• COMBER (ViBRANT)
• Lyme Regis Geo-BioBlitz (eMonocot)
• ViBRANT Citizen Science Workshop

The project to create a mobile app for recording observational data in Scratchpads is in collaboration with anymals+plants.

An example of an automated feed from user designed hardware might be along these lines: Open Source Data Logger.
