"Citizen-science data might just be the medicine that the doctor ordered." 👏 Congrats to IIASA's @dilekfraisl.bsky.social, @ucl.ac.uk collaborator @mhaklay.bsky.social, et al. - their work on the power of AI & citizen science is featured in a @nature.com editorial: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Combine AI with citizen science to fight poverty
Artificial-intelligence tools and community science can help in places where data are scarce, so long as funding for data collection does not falter in the future.
