Citizen science can be applied to any and all kinds of scientific observations which require scientific monitoring data. Weather phenomena, climate change impacts in the environment, monitoring of local air quality and also monitoring the effects and impact of climate change on different species of animal. Citizen science for climate simulation and ecology can be incredibly helpful in monitoring many things such as monitoring microplastics in water so that people can be more aware of what products contribute to this and lead efforts to reduce or change the process in which manufacturers produce these products to eliminate it from water sources.

Post 9: (Question 10) Study of Big Data in Medical Science

Making use of big data analysis within the healthcare sector has had an incredibly positive outcome and has also saved many lives over the years. When big data is applied to the healthcare sector it uses the specific health data of the population or individuals to potentially aid in preventing epidemics, curing diseases as well as cutting costs to healthcare in general. The most common and widespread use of big data in medicine is in the use of patient records as each patient has their own individual record which will include the patients medical history, their demographic, allergies, test results received from the labs to name a few. These records are shared through incredibly secure information systems and are available to those in the private and public sectors. The files can be modified by a doctor via a modifiable file which ensures that there's no issue with data replication. Another use of these patient records are that they can also alert or trigger warnings/reminders when...
