And that is exactly what I did. I visited Mount Rainier this past weekend to perform my first MeadoWatch survey. I had only expected to reach four of nine survey plots. But, with improved trail conditions (snow melt) I was able to travel all the way to the seventh plot. Had the hour not been so late, I expect I could have reached the last two plots. But, low on drinking water and zapped of energy from spending over four hours in direct sun, I opted to turn around and head back to my car at Reflection Lakes.

Surveying proved a somewhat slow process, mostly due to the fact that I was not familiar with where the plots were located. MeadoWatch is a citizen science program that aims to understand the biological impacts of climate change by observation and data collection of wildflower phenology.

Now familiar with the locations of the first seven plots, the next surveys I make will likely be done so in a more timely fashion.

Yet, I realized something on Saturday. My goal of quickly getting through the survey so I could go hike somewhere else (like, maybe, Comet Falls) was silly. There was no need to go anywhere else. MeadoWatch forced my pace to slow and as such, allowed me to connect with a lovely trail that afforded hours of opportunity to gaze at Mount Rainier.

Who is going to complain about that!? I plan to make two more MeadoWatch hikes over the course of the summer. When I do, I won't plan on hurrying and will likely make Paradise my only destination. After all, it is a place worthy of its name.

Juvenile scrub-jay by FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute

Mid-summer is a great time to see juvenile Florida scrub-jays, which are easily distinguished from adults by their brown heads. The Jay Watch population survey takes place from June 15 to July 15 each year throughout the state. Data collected by citizen scientists and biologists are used to track the number of family groups, adults and juveniles at key Florida scrub-jay populations.

Shadow science by Medical Museion

The 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion will host hands-on events and open days when visitors can try out some of the tools on show, and discuss the goals and possibilities of open science and synthetic biology. When the scientists go home, film projection of their work leaves traces of action in the space. Photograph to be credited to Martin Malthe Borch. Originally uploaded to MaltheBorch's flickr stream.

Evidence of bird attacking horse-chestnut leaf miner moth by UKCEH

An army of citizen scientists has helped the professionals understand how a tiny ‘alien’ moth is attacking the UK’s conker (horse-chestnut) trees, and showed that naturally-occurring pest controlling wasps are not able to restrict the moth’s impact.

The photo shows signs of a bird attack on the leaf mine home of the alien moth that is damaging our horse-chestnut trees. Credit: Michael Pocock / CEH.
