Herkesin İçinde Saklı Bilim İnsanı | John Terenzini | TEDxHong Kong

Yaklaşık 500 milyon yıldır var olan denizanaları, Hong Kong sularında çoğunlukla son zamanlara kadar fark edilmeden yüzüyor. TEDxHong Kong'da verilen bu konuşmada John Terenzini, yalnızca telefonlarını kullanan yaklaşık 700 eğitimsiz vatandaş bilimcinin deniz biyolojisindeki bilgi boşluklarını nasıl doldurduğunu anlatıyor. Çevre araştırmacısı Terenzini, 2020 yılında halkı bilim insanlarıyla bir araya getirmek amacıyla Hong Kong Denizanası Projesi'ni kurdu.

A 500-million-year-old animal drifts beneath Hong Kong's ferries, and until recently, almost nobody was looking. John Terenzini shows how 700 untrained citizen scientists, using nothing but their phones, are filling in what marine biology still doesn't know. The only skill required: paying attention to what everyone else swims past. An accomplished environmental researcher with a background in outdoor education. John’s fascination with jellyfish began during a canoe expedition in Alaska. This experience led him to study Environmental Management at the University of Hong Kong. In 2020, John founded the "Hong Kong Jellyfish Project," a citizen science initiative aimed at empowering the public to collaborate with scientists. Through this model, John is able to conduct detailed research on the distribution of jellyfish in Hong Kong waters, deepening understanding of key aspects of local marine biodiversity and effectively promoting marine conservation efforts. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
