We ensure the availability of critical field data that accelerates conservation and climate solutions.
We achieve our mission by mobilizing and training outdoor enthusiasts and local communities to collect high-quality scientific data that are difficult to access, require too large a scale, or are too costly to obtain with traditional methods.
Seems somewhat interesting. Here are their volunteer listings.

A lot of people automatically assume that Geneva is german speaking because its in Switzerland when its french speaking and it’s one of my pet peeves lol.
But I wanted to ask first because good chance this misconception has nothing to do with the title.

It would make me cringe asf but similarly I would remember policing how people use words to uphold some „purity“ of language is mostly BS and your time can be spent in much better ways.

But even then, knowledge ≠ intelligence.
And there are plenty of fields that get it completely wrong.
You could argue the majority of economics PhD’s get so stuck into the dominant model they might be less intelligent w.r.t. actual resource distribution than an amateur.

A notable example of the observer effect occurs in quantum mechanics, as demonstrated by the double-slit experiment. Physicists have found that observation of quantum phenomena by a detector or an instrument can change the measured results of this experiment. Despite the “observer effect” in the double-slit experiment being caused by the presence of an electronic detector, the experiment’s results have been interpreted by some to suggest that a conscious mind can directly affect reality.[3] However, the need for the “observer” to be conscious is not supported by scientific research, and has been pointed out as a misconception rooted in a poor understanding of the quantum wave function ψ and the quantum measurement process.[4][5][6]

- Comment on Disability Charity Sacks Employee for Palestine Protest, Citing ‘Brand Reputation’ 1 month ago:
Never heard of this Charity „Sense“.
But they‘re going about this in a completely bad way.
Disability rights includes rights for palestinians. Israels genocide has been a mass disabling event of people in Gaza.
The one can‘t be decoupled from the other.
Free Palestine. Abolish Ableism.

- Comment on why 1 month ago:
vaiselle is actually inhereting its gender in an unrelated manner.
It comes from Latin vāscellum which is a Neuter noun.
But the specific form that gave rise to vaiselle was the collective plural of that noun vāscella.
sourceAnd it’s a common pattern that in vulgar latin, (what gave rise to french), collective plural nouns were interpreted as feminine. I think this is a general tendency and unrelated to the noun’s meaning. The reason often given is that neuter plural endings and feminine singular endings were the same in Latin.
BTW; this is also the latin route of the english word vessel.
(PS: I agree with you that gender in language is problematic and I prefer non gendered as well).
- Comment on Jake Paul's wiki page described him as a professional boxer instead of exhibitionist. 1 month ago:
Yep. Anyone can “edit” wikipedia.
But the vast majority of edits by new users are reverted within a day.
I say this as someone with thousands of wikipedia edits myself, I talk from experience.
Most of the pages (especially politicised ones), have a couple senior users with vested interests continually monitoring it and changing back anything they don’t agree with.
