In this week's Science focus #Podcast we speak to Neil Gemmell on his project to survey the genetic diversity of Loch Ness using cutting-edge environmental DNA techniques, and maybe find clues about the Loch Ness Monster bit.ly/2DtbXdR

Another fascinating way Smithsonian scientists are using environmental DNA to answer questions! (Here's the other story about eDNA in the field - ocean.si.edu/trail-dna-ocean)

We can sample your soup and tell the species it contains, take a soil sample of your backyard and identify the birds, marsupials & microbes that have passed through; it's called 'eDNA'. This is an involved read, folks. Get comfy blog.csiro.au/loose-genes-an… ^JH #eDNA #CSIROcollections

#DecemberIssue is online! #Coverart by Natalia Makievski represents Miki Bálint - @[email protected] , @BowlerDBear and colleagues work on the potential use of #eDNA for fundamental #ecological questions. #populationecology #communityEcology Article available for free : bit.ly/2z7RMyo

Maggie Hunter USGS kicks off the 3rd Environmental DNA Technical Exchange Workshop (#3eDTEW) in St. Petersburg, FL, USA MyFWC. 2 days of #eDNA updates

Keynote speaker David Pillod focuses on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of #eDNA. Big questions on how to overcome skepticism & to create communication plans #3eDTEW

Jim Birch MBARI shares a few examples of their remote, autonomous #eDNA sampling & testing robots, from deep ocean to shallow creeks. #3eDTEW

Matt Laramie of USGS shares how relationships between #eDNA concentration and salmonid abundance or biomass in streams are complex and can be difficult to interpret. "Not there yet" #3eDTEW

Jeanette Davis describing some #LessonsLearned from NOAA Fisheries #eDNA research #3eDTEW

Jason Ferrante of USGS presenting a roadmap for integrating #eDNA data into the @USGS_NAS database. #3eDTEW

Great talk by @KatyKlymus on the standardisation of LOD/LOQ reporting in #eDNA literature. Definitely a subject that requires more discussion and implementation in future works #3eDTEW

#3eDTEW discussion happening now: Should the #fish #eDNA #CommunityOfPractice publish an eDNA protocol chapter(s) in the next American Fisheries Society "Standard Methods for Sampling" book (fisheriesstandardsampling.org)? Reply w/ your reasons! cc @edna4wildlife

Thanks, colleagues from the US for inviting Florian Leese to present #DNAquaNet at #3eDTEW 👍🏽We need such regular exchange across countries & user groups to identify best-practice application of #eDNA! Hope to see many here eg at the big #DNAquaNet conference Sept 15-18th in Evian!
