Citizen science practitioner creating community online & in person around local nature & documenting biodiversity for science & management. Marine biologist who over-shares photos of nudibranchs & other awesome intertidal creatures on Twitter (@alisonkestrel). Big nature nerd. Vice-chair of the Citizen Science Association.
I'm interested in chatting about place-based citizen science, building local citizen science community, marine biodiversity, bioblitzes, urban citsci, citizen science at Natural History Museums, creating regional citizen science collaboratives for local collective impact, and any way the CSA could better serve you & the greater citizen science community! And nudibranchs... I am always willing to talk about sea slugs.
