#CSIROcollections with the help of @AMDigiVol digitisation of #velvetant specimens from our @AustNatHist leads to online #CitizenScience game : comparevelvetants.com/
The @AMDigiVol project enabled by the @austmus and the @atlaslivingaust provides an avenue for self-isolators to contribute to important scientific research, through digitising Australian collections. #NCRISImpact australiangeographic.com.au/…
