Response to Messager et al. (2022).

In their paper entitled "Course-based undergraduate research to advance environmental education, science, and resource management", Messager I et al i . By introducing real-world data collected by students across a broad geographic range into classrooms, educators can expand not only how our students interpret and understand ecological data, but also the degree to which those data may inform them about the world around us. We would like to highlight other opportunities provided by several recently developed CURE networks that offer resources for collecting ecological data in undergraduate courses, efficiently assimilating and disseminating course data, and supporting instructors in these endeavors.
