Howdy, Dillon here. Last week, I told you how Learn Adventurously started with live events aimed at connecting people with biodiversity science. You can read that past newsletter on our email archive. But, that isn’t technically true.Learn Adventurously actually started as a blog. Delivering free information and resources to a small reader base. This blog eventually […]

One of the first emails I ever sent from Learn Adventurously was for our BioBlitz in 2022. In case you missed it, I ran an international competition encouraging anyone to pull out their phone and record biodiversity to iNaturalist. The twist is that I gamified the observations based on a point system from my undergraduate field herpetology course.I wasn’t expecting how popular
