hubie writes:Millions of idle computers the world over are put to good use for a number of scientific endeavors, but the use of Citizen Science (CS) goes back a long way in the field of ecological research. Volunteer data has long been used for monitoring populations or for keeping an eye on invasive species. In the age of tight research budgets and the availability of software to easily record and transmit data from the field has led to more and more projects dependent upon this data.Proper analysis depends upon understanding the data, and one of the challenges in using CS-supplied data is understanding the reliability of the observations. The best consistency in the quality of the data depends upon consistency in setting up the experiment and training the observers, also known as appropriately designing a protocol. There is an active discussion in the ecological research community about how to maximize the reliability and utility of this kind of data.

An Anonymous Coward writes:Businesses are switching to cashless payment only during the pandemic as people enact social distancing to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This comes after stopping the use of non-disposable cups in cafes and the general reduction of the use of cash across society. This could well be the tipping point to make cashless payments the norm across the world. Some believe it could well be the start of killing off the use of cash for good.It's not paranoia if you know they are out to get you.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
