We crowdsource millennial and gen z problem solvers, they crowdsource citizen scientists. Sometimes inspiration for challenges comes from finding parallels in concept or process in unexpected places like this: "Does the DNA that we expect on the landscape actually get into the lake? . . . I think understanding how to design something that’s robust to variation is what one must start from in designing #crowdsourcing, and making sure that what comes in still has value. If you’ve designed it in a way that even if the minimum is met, you still have a way to move forward with that." - Kristy Deiner, environmental Scientist at the Department of Environmental Systems Science (D-USYS), ETH Zürich Here's a great read from Abhishyant Kidangoor for Mongabay, interviewing Kristy Deiner about the LeDNA project and working with citizen scientists to gather environmental DNA samples from 500 lakes in 80 countries around the world in a single day. https://lnkd.in/g8TqpTsT
