I'm contributing the bird detections to a citizen science project called BirdWeather, a massively collaborative project to collect valuable bird species data for use in conservation and to better understand bird behaviour. #raspberrypi #citizenscience #birdnet 5/6

AI is attracting a lot of negative press at the moment, but there are many efficient, safe, and truly beneficial uses of it that are worlds-apart from running huge LLMs in power-hungry data centres. #raspberrypi #citizenscience #birdnet 4/6

There are some fascinating insights, like the dawn chorus tracking sunrise so closely, that robins are the early risers (although they feel sorry for themselves while moulting in summer and don't sing as much), and that owls seem to prefer darker nights. #raspberrypi #citizenscience #birdnet 3/6

The model is from @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social, and is able to identify more than 6,000 species of birds and other animals.

These screenshots are from a web page I put together with some analysis of the data that I've collected so far. #raspberrypi #citizenscience #birdnet 2/6

Over the summer, I set up a Raspberry Pi 5 with BirdNET-Go. It listens to the audio from a connected microphone, then runs it through an AI model running locally on the Raspberry Pi (no data centres involved!) trained to detect bird calls. #raspberrypi #citizenscience #birdnet 1/6

I'll be honest: when Dave Schneider started pitching the idea of measuring the starlight shadow of an asteroid as it passed across the face of the Earth for an @spectrum.ieee.org Hands On, I thought it sounded impossible. But I was wrong! #diy #astronomy #CitizenScience

'The... app has logged 12,000 dolphin sightings from 20,000 users-now researchers want to use eDNA and targeted surveys to finally estimate how many bottlenose dolphins actually live in the Bay.'

Citizen science can take many different forms. Muki Haklay's four modes show how differently people can take part, from contributing data to shaping the research question itself. We have mapped all four, with examples, on our new webpage. ⤵️
