In a month we have received interest from 100s people who will join us on May 22, 2024 to sample #biodiversity with #eDNA in the lakes below 🎉. But we have to make this truly global. If you see a gap and want to join us sign up here --> evaluation-app1.let.ethz.ch/TakeSurvey.asp…

Check out our new sampling calendars for the best time to sample aquatic environments to maximise the likelihood of #eDNA detecting specific species.

Make sure you're sampling at the optimal time to get the best possible data.

Big changes coming soon as I embark on a whole new job - motherhood! 🤰it does however mean NatureMetrics are hiring for my cover!! If you're at all interested in #eDNA assay development please reach out or apply below!! naturemetrics.breezy.hr/p/860f4962c078…

My new animation is out! 🌊🌎🥛🦖
'What is an aquifer and why does it matter to me?' was made with The Aquifer Partnership to highlight what is happening to our groundwater and how we can protect it. Just in time for #WorldWaterDay !

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to ALL the women out there who continue to inspire me. This day is for you 💖

Home after a great few days at #UKDNAWG . So many interesting talks across the two days and lots to think about for my own work at NatureMetrics ! Now to sleep 💤

That’s it for another year. A great couple of days with #UKDNAWG

Thanks to everyone for making it a success and to ⁦Fera⁩ for being such great hosts

Cannot believe this was a whole year (and a day woops) ago! Happy vivaversary to me!! 🎉

Exciting news!!! We've published the first major article from my PhD project. Mito-SiPE is a method that can be utilised by researchers to investigate low-frequency mutations in the mitochondrial genome nature.com/articles/s4200… (1/3)

As COP27 begins, we're launching our paper: 'The future of Nature-based Solutions: Measuring nature using eDNA'

We share our vision on how #eDNA technology will be essential to the delivery of #NatureBasedSolutions .
