Inspired by efforts of cam viewers, we began to envision the possibilities for designing an online space where viewers and scientists could work together, co-creating real-time, online investigations spanning the entire scientific process: Observing birds on the cams; asking, discussing, and choosing research questions in online forums and live Q&As; collecting data by tagging live and archived video; analyzing and interpreting results with interactive visualizations, and sharing the findings online.
We invite you to be our collaborators by providing your time, participation, and feedback to help us make the best online space for co-created scientific investigations.
