Yowzah! We launched these Invertebrate Zoology specimens cards--Marine Invertebrates!--as a part of WeDigBio on Thursday.
As of noon Saturday, 29 #volunpeers have completed 401 pgs of the 502 page pilot set.
New WeDigBio Challenge: Let’s see if we can finish all of these today to make a WeDigBio success story!
Thank you for the shout out and gorgeous Invertebrate Zoology illustration @histsciart! Details on how to join #WeDigBio in our bio. ・・・ The Smithsonian Transcription Center (@smithsoniantranscriptioncenter) is having a great time during the weekend long WeDigBio event! One of the projects that #volunpeers are working on is transcribing specimen cards from the Department of Invertebrate Zoology at the National Museum of Natural History (@smithsoniannmnh). Their collection includes many wonderful animals like these Sea Urchins (Genus Echinus). You can join in on the project by visiting the Smithsonian Transcription Center's website: transcription.si.edu ` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #SciArt by James Barbut, Barbut's Genera Vermium (1783-88) from Biodiversity Heritage Library (@biodivlibrary). ` ` #WeDigBio #MarineInvertebrates #SeaUrchins #SmithsonianTranscriptionCenter #BiodiversityHeritageLibrary #BHL
Gorgeous jewelry? Tasty pastry? No! These are pollen grains on a microscope slide: Pseudobombax septenatum.
For WeDigBio, we are transcribing the cards that tell us all the details relating to the collection and identification of pollen grains. Join us to help Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute researchers by transcribing these pollen cards. Find instructions and tips here.
BONUS: See identified specimens in @JSTOR Global Plants - Pseudobombax septenatum
We’re almost 18 hours into Day 1 of WeDigBio! Will you join us to unlock biodiversity data during this 4-day transcription blitz? From today through Sunday, we’ll be doing all we can to transcribe and share behind-the-scenes looks. We have projects ranging from pollen cards to herbaria specimens sheets, and invertebrate zoology specimens cards to field notes.

Have you seen October's Update featuring September’s TC activity?
It has a preview of WeDigBio (which kicks off on Thursday!) and a spotlight on Archives Month, plus a request for your feedback for a Smithsonian-wide volunteers survey. We have new projects added each week and so much more to come in October!
Remember our #BioBlitz and #BeeByBee events during Worldwide Engagement for Digitizing Biocollections in October 2015? We're planning for WeDigBio 2016 this week at iDigBio HQ in Gainesville.
Here's a brief summary of our Transcription Center WeDigBio experience in 2015. Get in touch if you have questions.
Also, we are curious: what do you think would make transcription more fun, effective, or worth your time in October?

We're wrapping up Day Four and headed for the Worldwide Engagement for Digitizing Biocollections finish line!
Just 2 hours left and our TC crew have passed our Day Three total, which was 823 bees and 3220 transcriptions. We’ve completed 2761 bees in total during this four day challenge and we still have time for a few more. Will we reach 2800?
The WeDigBio totals are racing to 30,000 transcription events after blowing past our 25,000 transcription goal mid-day today. Help us take it #BeeByBee across the line!
