    Citizen Science - Special Days
    (2014-09-12) Loftie-Eaton, Megan; Neary, Tim
    In this radio broadcast, Tim Neary interviews Megan Loftie-Eaton about the Animal Demography Unit's citizen science programme 'Special Days' - Mad Mammal Monday, Tree Tuesday, Weaver Wednesday, Threat Thursday, Frog Friday, Scorpion Saturday and Snake Sunday. Megan discusses strategies to engage citizens in science, including the use of social media and potential strategies for more productive strategies for mainstream media, and the valuable contributions citizens can make to scientific knowledge and wildlife conservation in South Africa. This resource introduces some of the basic citizen science initiatives undertaken by UCT and offers guidance for members of the public interested in getting involved.
