Definitely a meme about science

Good science isn't just in a lab. Birdwatchers are some of the biggest contributors to citizen science. :)

If you would like to get involved with observing the world around you in a meaningful way for scientists (rewilding and conservation) and for the common good, download iNaturalist (phone app) and check out:

Things like eBird and iNaturalist have been pretty revolutionary for data collection and modelling and any and all data is valuable and will be used.

This has nothing to do with birdwatching. It's just a recycled, ever-tired "the game" meme.

Everything is science if you stretch the definition lol

This has become a catch-all meme community imo

That's the thing. Everything IS science. I'm here to get people talking about it. Artifically aesthetically boxing it is what drives people away from learning. Play is the mother of all education.

The Game is big time science. Pretty sure that the inventor won 4 Nobel prizes for it.
