No reward - no duties.  75% of respondents have reduced the hours spent on academic duties since 2020 (Nature polls). Mostly due to burnout and unwillingness to work for free. This included attending conferences, peer reviewing manuscripts and grant proposals, committees,

Excited to annouce we will host the first Hong Kong eDNA workshop this October HKU School of Biological Sciences with support from the Croucher Foundation. Many thanks to our inter-institutional and external organizers and supporters, with key heavy lifting from Guibert Isis. More details to come shortly.

Stay tuned for registration!! This is going to be fun !! We will host amazing experts in the field from overseas 🧑‍🔬🤓🧬💧

1st eDNA Workshop in HK‼️ Do you want to integrate eDNA methodologies into your research? We will cover the fieldwork practice, lab and data analysis for the participants to be able to run their own eDNA study afterwards. Registration & details: seymourlab.net/edna-workshop-…

Registration are open for the 1st International eDNA workshop in HK (16-27 Oct) !! Come and learn from our guest expert in eDNA !!

Really great talk from Róisín Hayden yesterday!! Looking forward to get the big picture. Well done!

I had a blast co-chairing the giant clam session yesterday! Lot of good science! Thank you to all the presenters and to the chairs Mei Lin Li Keat
