An amazing QuestaGame player has become a co-author of a scientific paper about a rare species of Australian pygmy grasshopper he found while playing QuestaGame.
He's 11 years old (and made the observation when he was 8).
David Haynes of Earth Guardians (QuestaGame) interviews him here. Congrats to all the scientists involved!

“You don’t need to wait till you’re a scientist or have a PhD to contribute to biodiversity research or even biosecurity,” says the 11-year-old Griffin.
In this video Griffin shares highlights of his nature adventures. He also shares his top tips to try out at home - so that we can all get a little better at protecting life on Earth.
