A very warm welcome to Götz Neef who is joining our lab as a PhD student. He will be optimising protocols for #eDNA #metabarcoding to map the biodiversity of the Okavango Delta and surrounds in collaboration with Into the Okavango. Super excited to have you on board Götz!

Tomorrow in a week I leave Namibia for #Okavango15. Exited to meet the team Into the Okavango

Arrived safely in Maun. Smooth and easy drive. Good to put some faces to the names. #okavango15

The caravan is off to Rundu. Saw elephants, sabel, antelope, impala, and wildebeest! #okavango15 Into the Okavango
