Another week, another #sDiv workshop iDiv Biodiversity Research (hybrid, mixed in person and online). This time, we have #sCom here to meld ‘big’ community data streams (i.e., eDNA) with jSDMs and related tools. Co-led by Florian Hartig and Douglas Yu @[email protected]. I have a LOT to learn!

MEEB #MScRes 2024-25 studentship, now fully-funded using #eDNA approaches to illuminate vertebrate diversity from invertebrate samples as part of SUPERB - forest restoration ecology, close 30th June #UKDNAWG24 Environmental & Natural Sciences @ Bangor Univ.

Hot off the press! Check out this piece I wrote with Simon Creer which discusses biodiversity loss, the importance of monitoring freshwater habitats and our recent Nature Communications #eDNA paper! Original paper: doi.org/10.1038/s41467… The Conversation article: bit.ly/3XnjMKj

📃 Newly published paper 💥Examining the stability of viral RNA and DNA in wastewater: Effects of storage time, temperature, and freeze-thaw cycles ✌️Water Research Check out the full text👇 eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%… #bangoruni #Prifysgolbangor

Researchers at Bangor University are using environmental DNA (eDNA) to monitor freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem health more efficiently 🌍 ➡️ bit.ly/4b5UFP9 ✍️ Simon Creer & William Perry fishsci.com/@DrWillPerry - The Conversation Nature Communications #BangorUniversity #BangorResearch

Just uploaded my talk ready for the #FSBI2024 symposium in Bilbao next week! A leisurely 5 hours before the deadline, as well! I am looking forward to being immersed in omics, fish and Bilbao for a week, with what has to be one of the warmest conference crowds around.

Thank you to #UKRIFLF for supporting me with the Future Leaders Fellowship where I'll be investigating new technologies of airborne #eDNA for biomonitoring across the globe UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research UCL East campus Let's do this!

North Wales #eDNA #LeDNA sample should now be with Cátia Lúcio Pereira Dr Kristy Deiner and big thanks to Environmental & Natural Sciences @ Bangor Univ. team @svenjatidau Anna Sara Maggini for help on a beautiful sampling trip to #Snowdonia - Good luck with the library preps and thanks for including MEEB !

MEEB Bangor University Natural Environment Research Council fsbi BES-aquaticgroup (BESAG) Also sharing the above opportunity with #UKDNAWG team!

We’re recruiting for a #PhD opportunity funded by NERC Envision DTP, investigating the impact of climate change on chytrid disease dynamics in Appalachian salamanders. Full details here: findaphd.com/?pj=182328
