Have you considered that having a diversity of approaches might be of value, particularly when this approach (“citizen science”) has very low to no cost and could lead to a “real scientist” to think “hmmm… let’s do a real study on that”? I.e. perhaps low cost science should have a role leading the science peloton, cutting through the friction so that more resource intensive science can go where the spotlight shines? Just a thought.
