Spent the morning at @fieldmuseum with 16 incredible AP Environmental Science students from North Side Prep. Our Collections Club members jumped right into the Bryophyte Collections Curation Blitz—helping preserve, curate, and rehouse historical moss specimens for long-term scientific research.

An incredible discovery in the Field Museum Collections from our 2 volunteers! Together they discovered ants and liverworts in Amber over 15 million years okd! Not only that, but these specimen were collected by Susan (Sue) Hendrickson!! Volunteer powered discoveries! #wedigbio #scienceforall #suehendrickson #fieldmuseum

Today at Field Museum 26 volunteers curated over 500 moss specimens for digitization! #wedigbio #scienceforall #naturalhistory #Fieldmuseum

A big thank you to all the participants who joined in and a special thank you to the speakers who joined us for Innovations in Online Engagement in Biodiversity Science! Your insights, expertise, and enthusiasm made this symposium a valuable opportunity to connect, learn, and explore the future of public participation in biodiversity science. #scienceforall #wedigbio

The Field Museum kicked off the WeDigBio event with over 20 volunteers helping curate moss specimens and enjoying a tour of the collection at the Searle Herbarium. #wedigbio #scienceforall #digitizingcollections

During our special volunteer-powered digitization event, a team from CHASE stepped out of the office and into the archives—working side by side with our collection managers to bring history into the digital age. From cataloging to capturing, every click helps preserve stories for generations to come. Now it’s your turn. Be part of something bigger. Help us digitize the past for the future. #CitizenScientistMonth #VolunteerPower #DigitizeHistory #OpenAccess #MuseumCollections #wedigbio #biodiversity #communityscience #communityscientist #naturalhistory #science #scienceforall #scistarter #scienceforeveryone #scienceforeveryone #scienceisforeveryone
