"Research Megathread! How to obtain a Mew, along with a task and reward compilation!"

#PokemonGO: The highly anticipated quest feature has finally debuted in Pokemon GO! New tasks can be completed for a daily stamp and continuous rewards! Please help compile a list of the various tasks and rewards (both for field and special research) as well as any other core mechanics of the system. I expect to be updating the thread for a while!Please share screenshots of anything interesting, and help refer duplicate threads here to keep all the new information in one handy place :)When completing field research, you earn one stamp in a given day (in addition to the research task's rewards). After earning 7 stamps, you get a special reward! Given the hints we've heard from Niantic, it seems like it can be a legendary Pokemon! You can complete any number of research tasks, but each task must be acquired from a different Pokestop (which doesn't include a gym). Each individual Pokestop awards one particular task in a given day.In a separate track, you can complete the special research for "A Mythical Encounter". Nobody has completed it yet, but you can bet you'll catch a Mew at the end :) See the tasks/rewards below for more details.Oh, and credit goes to /u/XJamie3X for being the first to post that research is live!Great idea from /u/thephlyingmonkey to make a Google DocField research task -
