We're investigating the interaction between drought and Phytophthora on these silver trees with Ashleigh, a 4th year conservation student. We love science. ift.tt/2sxg6pg

How do Phytophthora affect the plants ability to photosynthesize? Are they affecting carbon or water relations? Does this interest you? Anyone can become a scientist, start by contributing to citizen science. #physiology #citizenscience ift.tt/2Lt5Je3

Happy youth day! We had an epic day hunting for beetles and crafting beetle traps with the Kluitjieskraal Junior Rangers. Excited to see what they catch! ift.tt/2taIqhq

Today we learned about photosynthesis and light intensity from Marius in the Global Change Biology Group. So many awesome lab groups Stellenbosch University ift.tt/2yoHo7p

We had a lekker day with the Kluitjieskraal Junior Rangers yesterday. There will be some real champions of science from this group in the future. CapeNature #citizenscience ift.tt/2NzuPcX

Today we introduced our next project to some Western Cape primary and secondary school teachers at a workshop in Stellenbosch. We're excited to explore more methods to work together and inspire more learners. ift.tt/2mabeUa

Very cool #citizenscience initiative from some colleagues in South Africa featured in Science: science.sciencemag.org/content/361/64… Joey Hulbert Cape Citizen Science FABI

Here is a short story from our youth engagement featured in Science Magazine …nce.sciencemag.org.uplib.idm.oclc.org/content/361/64…

Meet Ivan, Dylan, and Ayebonga. These three learners were featured in a short story from our project that was published today …nce.sciencemag.org.uplib.idm.oclc.org/content/361/64…

Here is a glimpse of an experiment that one of our citizen scientists is conducting on their own! #localconservationhero ift.tt/2PueNAW

Join us in the last session today for information about #citizenscience in South Africa. #SFSA2018

Today we will discuss the why and how of #citizenscience in the final session at #sfsa2018! Find us in the Jade room at 17:15

We climbed Table Mountain with these bright learners yesterday. Their interest and excitement to learn about the biodiversity added enormous value. Help us provide more South African youth with these experiences. #biodiversity #tablemountain #SANParks #c… bit.ly/2U2Ndxm

The highly-invasive, tree-killing Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) beetle has been found and confirmed in Somerset West. Please keep your eyes out for symptoms of infection. More information available here: citsci.co.za/pshb #treehealth #pshb #southafrica #capetown

Get out this weekend and share your observations to help Cape Town win the City Nature Challenge! bit.ly/2ZDmBX6 bit.ly/2UI3586

Our website is back online. Take a look around at citsci.co.za

All of these samples were collected by City of Cape Town professionals. Absolutely amazing! #citizenscience #CapeTownHypothesisTest @tda_capetown ift.tt/2KeyxWY

Dr. Sandy Liebhold from the Dept. of Agriculture Forest Service says we can learn from history 📕 Dealing with future emergence of non-native pests and pathogens relies on understanding introductions and evasions in the past🌲🌳 #TPCP2018

Protect our biodiversity by letting us know if you see any symptoms like this on the plants around Cape Town. #CapeTownHypothesisTest #citizenscience #biodiversityprotectors ift.tt/2rUwmjP
