"Community science is a form of research that provides everyone—regardless of their background—an opportunity to contribute meaningful data to further our scientific understanding of key issues. By engaging community members, researchers can collect a larger amount of data, and often span more geographic regions, in a shorter amount of time. In turn, data collected informs larger conservation efforts. It's also a great opportunity for participants to learn more about species that interest them. It's a win-win situation for all of us—including invertebrates!"
Our 7th and 8th grade science fair projects were some of the most important experiences of our early relationship, and today, we still enjoy exploring our curiosity and expanding our perspectives through science.
Below are our ongoing projects.
the garden, 2021-present
Beginning as a failed pumpking patch, this small plot in Altadena quickly became much more.
After the 2025 Eaton Fire, the garden evolved from an urban agriculture and native habitat experiment into one focused on soil rehabilitation.
indooor hydroponics, 2025
Due to "the garden" being impacted by the 2025 Eaton Fire, we began experimenting with indoor hydroponics to produce our leafy greens at home.
More information coming soon!
iNaturalist
One of our favorite platforms for community science is iNaturalist, a real-life Pokedex! The platform allows us to upload images of the flora, fauna, and funga we see on our adventures, identify them, and potentially aid in ongoing research by scientific institutions across the globe!
