I’ve always been a fan of what used to be called “Citizen Science” and has recently been re-named<\/a> “Community Science.” I contribute birding data to ebird<\/a>. I was a volunteer atlasser for the BC Breeding Bird Survey<\/a> in its early days and I continue to support my husband on the annual survey. We start at the crack of dawn and he counts birds while I drive and keep the tally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m excited to have the opportunity to support genetic genealogy. Blaine Bettinger,<\/a> the genetic genealogist who is behind the Shared cM Project<\/a> on DNA Painter<\/a>, has opened submissions for the next update. The goal is over 100,000 submissions. He hopes to release the update in early 2023. Now’s the time to contribute! There are two ways to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
