Day 10: We made it! 🌟

Our first workshop has come to the end. Big congratulations to our participants, we can’t wait to see more researchers to integrate eDNA in their research!

Thank you again to our guests lecturers and helpers. This workshop won’t happen without you all!

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

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

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

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-…

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

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,…

The Cawthron Institute is hiring a Product Manager to help launch our environmental-DNA (eDNA) tools used in protecting and rejuvenating our marine and freshwater environments.
