  you've probably seen the phrase go touch grass at least once.

• 00:09

  The next time you take a doom scrolling break to go touch said grass,

  My guest today is Greg Trinisch.

  He's the founder and executive director of Adventure Scientists,

  an organization that mobilizes outdoor enthusiasts to collect high quality scientific data.

  Thanks so much for coming on to chat today.

• 00:51

  Yeah, my pleasure.

• 00:52

  I'm excited to be here.

• 00:54

  So to start us off, you have a pretty fascinating professional life.

• 00:58

  Would you just tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do?

  I'm the founder and executive director of Adventure Scientists.

• 01:06

  we build conservation projects with the conservation community and then we mobilize the outdoor community to go and collect data on their behalf.

• 01:19

  So we do this all around the world and we've done it now for more than 100 different conservation projects.
