Botanical Time Machine: Mid-Atlantic Megalopolis Digitization Project

Tony and Billy are back after a hiatus, talking about Tony’s new house next to a trail head and the urban raptors you happen to see while counter-protesting fascists. Then (at around 27 min) we hear from Dr. Cynthia Skema the Mid-Atlantic Megalopolis Digitization Project (best-named citizen science project ever). MAM Digitization is taking herbarium records from New York to DC, scanning them, and making them more accessible to researchers. You can pitch in by reading and typing up the tags – a great way to help science along while connecting with past naturalists.
