4BBRW is on his way. Already 2766km in so likely he left Thursday night. (16th) and had only just transmitted. He has favourable winds and is likely making good speed. He is heading for the Seaward Peninsula in Alaska. Follow him on globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/project…

For years we've been heading for a situation where govts withdraw from funding conservation to make way for philanthropy, while subsidies continue to flow to fossil fuels. Latest Budget no exception. Idea - why not reverse the roles? Public $$$ for nature, philanthropy for gas 🙂

We are pleased to announce the 15th annual Sydney Phylogenetics Workshop!
 
This free workshop will be held University of Sydney on 27-28 June.
 
It will provide an introduction to phylogenetic analysis and is suitable for early career researchers (students and postdocs).

NEW open access DNA research in nature explores the diversification of the famous baobab trees from the heart of Madagascar over >20 million years! 🌳🇲🇬

Their seeds have rode the oceans to Africa and Australia, and now today's baobabs need our care 🌊

Tracking pathogen evolution through climate change

nature.com/articles/s4157…

This Genome Watch article discusses the application of sequencing methods for monitoring the rise of infectious diseases associated with climate change.

Using Group B Streptococcus (GBS) in freshwater fish as an example, scientists developed a metagenomics-based workflow for rapid food microbiological safety testing. Their findings pave the way for future methodological development. Microbiology Spectrum: asm.social/1S9

Some details here on Dept. of Agriculture’s 3 studies on #H5N1 and beef:
1. As mentioned, PCR testing of ground beef bought in states with positive herds found no virus
2. Muscle samples have been collected from dairy cattle at slaughter houses and are being tested now
