What genera are most easily moved? Iโ€™ve had success moving Eriogonum, about the only one Iโ€™ve tried. I assume Yucca roots are too deep to successfully move them?

A favorite of mine, except I despise the common name.

Hey bsky! Iโ€™d like to share some cool work I recently coauthored that integrates entomology, paleontology, and German cultural history. ๐Ÿ”ถ๐Ÿœโšก๏ธ We discovered a fossil ant in the amber collection of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe! Read on for a delightful story of #museomics and #collectomics. >> 1/

Have you considered using the term #communityscience instead of #citizenscience? It seems to really be catching onโ€ฆ

Thanks for the clarification. Youโ€™ll eventually see the term catch on, and you can continue to ignore it if you prefer- your choice.

Though do you deny โ€œcommunity scienceโ€ is more inclusive than โ€œcitizen scienceโ€. Can non-citizens participate? Citizens of which country? Are scientists citizens too (of whichever country you choose)? โ€œCommunityโ€ includes everyone. #communityscience
