A lovely evening presenting at the Citizen Science Showcase at The University of Edinburgh with Edinburgh Open Research ✨ Thank you for inviting me along to talk about GroundsWell Consortium and Our Outdoors, alongside some other amazing speakers!

Delighted to be part of the #IMPETUS4CS Accelerator as project lead for Dear Green Place 🌱 Over the next 7 months we’ll be working with youth groups in Edinburgh to gather data on Our Outdoors + create artworks exploring the wellbeing benefits of local green + blue spaces ✨

It was great to be at the UK Participatory Research Network meeting, conveniently for me hosted in sunny Durham today! 🌞 Lots of insightful discussion around quality in participatory research and challenges faced around funding, ethics and navigating university systems

Such a pleasure to attend the Nature Connections conference at University of Derby earlier this week, presenting a poster on my PhD with MammalWeb and chatting to people about GroundsWell Consortium! So much inspiring work going on in this area, I came away buzzing with ideas! #NCx2024 🌱

Even the dogs are ready for change 🌹#dogsatpollingstations #toriesout

Great collaborative workshop in Edinburgh today thinking about how to make outputs from citizen science projects more accessible 📖 As a group, we’re translating an academic paper on the development of the scale used in Our Outdoors into an infographic for community groups 1/2

Really enjoyed running this workshop today ⬇️ Making academic outputs more accessible is so important, particularly when working in participatory research and citizen science. Thanks to everyone who came along and got stuck in!

Great to be invited to the All Data 4 Green Deal workshop in sunny Barcelona!☀️Discussing biodiversity monitoring with #citizenscience including frustrations, needs + ideas for each step of the data cycle. Great also to meet dedicated volunteers involved with MammalWeb Project MammalNet 🐾

Really enjoyed leading this session at GroundsWell Consortium annual retreat👇🏻 It was great to have Helen + Nick along who have been using Our Outdoors MammalWeb and iNaturalist to explore and campaign for their local green space. A great example of the power of #citizenscience 🌱

An honour to be able to collect this award on behalf of the whole MammalWeb project! 🐾
