“*Among adults without a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s, eating more full-fat cheese was associated with a noticeably lower risk of developing the disease, while higher cream intake was tied to reduced dementia risk overall.

INaturalist is a great platform for recording observations of flora and fauna in the field. It is widely used in academia for ecological research and is a great tool for identifying bits of nature. It can be accessed through smartphone apps or through web browsers.

Seek is also a decent alternative if you want quick results with minimal steps. It’s a more casual experience. You basically scan your specimen with Seek on live video and it identifies it in real-time. You miss out on the iNaturalist community help, but you can link Seek to your iNaturalist account to share observations.
