We had an exciting first day kicking off the STREAM field season in ON with Grand River Conservation Authority and Living Lakes Canada! This big guy was ready for his close up #crayfish #biomonitoring #eDNA

Today Hajibabaei Lab and Living Lakes Canada are in Peterborough for our training week in ON. Thanks for joining the STREAM team KawarthaConservation and KawarthaLandTrust!

Awesome STREAM training and sampling in Ontario. Great job, team. STREAM Living Lakes Canada Illumina

Some #benthics facts from EcoSpark’s Sara Kuruvilla 👏 👏And that’s a wrap to day 4 of STREAM’s #biomonitoring training!

Thanks for visiting us in the lab all the way from BC, Living Lakes Canada. Come back soon for more STREAM trainings in ON!

Shout out to Grand River Conservation Authority, KawarthaConservation, KawarthaLandTrust, EcoSpark & Swim Drink Fish for becoming the newest STREAM team members in ON! Thank you for your expertise and dedication to environmental stewardship. STREAM would not be possible without #communitybasedmonitoring!

Community-based #biomonitoring is the backbone of STREAM!

We’re processing samples shipped from KawarthaConservation today! Anyone up for a bug smoothie? Mehrdad Hajibabaei 🐛🧬👀

Time to wrap up a fantastic #edna2023japan conference: Mehrdad Hajibabaei on the topic „Is #eDNA enough?“ The past, present and future of the field for #biodiversity #monitoring in research and application

In the closing remarks, Dr. Mehrdad Hajibabaei Mehrdad Hajibabaei , renowned for his unparalleled experiences in genomics and barcoding, deliberated upon the potential of #eDNA technologies in fostering the conservation of biodiversity. #edna2023japan

We depend on #biodiversity. Action including monitoring, conservation and restoration is critical to our future. Let's continue to invest in nature together. #BiodiversityDay

Happy #BiodiversityDay2023! For 20 years, our research team has been developing innovative DNA-based technologies, methods, and a global infrastructure to better understand life on our planet. #BuildBackBiodiversity youtube.com/watch?v=K1AchB…

During the first week of May, our #biomonitoring team was in Ontario working with several community groups to help meet the growing demand for training across Canada. Learn more in a blog by Gwen Janz, a recent addition to the team. livinglakescanada.ca/2023/05/24/ont…

It's #WorldEnvironmentDay. For 20 yrs, we've been #innovating and building the #data & #infrastructure to understand #biodiversity. Thanks to our global collaborators & International Barcode of Life Consortium (iBOL) - we couldn't do it without you! #DNAbarcoding #BIOSCAN youtube.com/watch?v=K1AchB…

Congratulations, Mehrdad Hajibabaei! 👏
