npub1yyx7sllvsrr0fauh2rdlqk5rakf3963g9xk4a7j5uhfcs00lr3kq42qa5g (npub1yyx…qa5g) I take issue with this, specifically from a scientist's perspective. The term "citizen scientist" is mostly used for people who do research on their own, without affiliation to an institution or organisation. This implies that affiliation to something means "better science", which is plain wrong. People can have qualifications while "lacking" affiliation, producing decent results in the process. Demoting their results like this is elitist nonsense peddled by the ivory tower.
