Philadelphia Academy, I will give a Zoom talk about iNaturalist and shells
In case anyone is interested, on Thursday evening, January 21st, at 7:30 PM, via a Zoom meeting, I will be giving a talk on "iNaturalist and Shells" as part of a virtual meeting of the Philadelphia Shell Club, which is virtually hosted by the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences.
My talk is entitled: “iNaturalist: The easy way to record, learn, and communicate with others about the shells you find.”
To learn more about me, or iNaturalist, before the meeting, you can check out my profile page: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/susanhewitt; or my ResearchGate page: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Susan_Hewitt.
The talk will not simply be about shells, as the principles are of course the same for any group of organisms.

These are not rare, but they are not super common and they are also often very hard to discover on account of their being so tiny -- at least the ones here on Sanibel are very small.

Susan, I would much like to hear your talk and recommend it to others. Is there a site for advance info for registering for attending?
Thanks, Jack
That would be great I would love to join.
Thanks Treeesparrow
Thanks folks!
Hey Jack, We have no site for advance info for registering for the talk, because it is completely open -- no registering necessary. We are figuring that will work OK because we assume that we won't get more than 300 people wanting to attend!
Thank you, Susan. I will compose a message encouraging some people who dabble at iNat, or talk about wanting to do so. I was hoping to have some of you great photos, etc tp include.
There will be some of my photos of course, but mostly as montages, similar to the one I use on this page.
@jspruill -- if you have any favorite photos of mine, please let me know which ones they are, and I may try to include them in the talk.
Hi Susan,
Will you be including any information about the value of recording shells washed up on the beach or inhabited by hermit crabs in addition to those of still living mollusks? Thanks!
Hi RJ,
I won't be talking specifically about that issue, but I will be showing many of my observation pics that clearly show dead empty shells, and also some ob pics that show hermit-crabbed shells.
I will also be recommending specifically that anyone who makes marine mollusk obs on the Eastern Seaboard mark them in Annotations as "Live" or "dead" because that way they will automatically be included in the Mollusks of the Eastern Seaboard Project, which is a massive new project backed by the National Science Foundation.
