For Map Wizardry at last week's #EsriUC2025, inspired by a map in an old Sports Illustrated, I made "Golf of America" - a pictorial map of all the golf courses in the contiguous US with an appropriately positioned title. Feel free to download a copy.

🌼 Got 10 mins to spend near flowers? Why not contribute to the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme with a Flower-Insect Timed (FIT) Count!

Watch flowers + insects in warm, dry weather (Apr–Sept).
Every FIT Count helps science.

UCLouvain summer school on #CitizenScience - summary and reflection. A fantastic week of immersive #ParticipatoryScience in Louvain-la-Neuve
PReCISE (Promoting Citizen Science Expertise) summer school – summary and lessons
These are notes from the first day of the summer school at Université de Louvain (UCLouvain) on 7-11 July 2025 in Louvain-la-Neuve, and funded by Circle-U university alliance. The course included teachers from the University of Amsterdam, Aarhus University, University Paris Cité, University of Vienna, and UCLouvain. Jaqui Goldin provided the first talk, exploring the ethics and practice of citizen science - and the principles of doing citizen science.

Circle-U. UCLouvain – Citizen science: rethinking research with and for society
Notes from a seminar that was held on June 5, World Environment Day. It is part of the Circle U. Climate Day 2025. It was organised as a hybrid event. Caroline Michellier, Université catholique de Louvain led the organisation of the seminar, and it was integrated into a series of transdisciplinary seminars. It explored how citizen science can enrich research and enhance our understanding of key challenges, particularly environmental ones.
