Today I am beginning my year of Citizen Science. After five months of pandemic and new stay at home orders, I need a way out and a way into the world, the world I used to find joy in. My quest will involve choosing projects to join and writing and drawing about them. Continue to review poetry or science writing that engages with these topics. For some minutes everyday to wake up from this toxic poisonous narrative that is our daily gruel. To count bats, or listen to bird song, or map coral reefs, even if it is from my apartment. To conjure and quantify.

So here I begin my year as a Citizen Scientist.
