STREAM has collected & processed over 1,500 benthic samples from community groups across Canada! THANK YOU to the 70+ groups that send us samples 💙#CitizenScience

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

So you’ve collected a sample of small aquatic bugs, now what? In this recent video, the STREAM shows the journey of a sample collected in the field to the lab. Get a behind-the-scenes scope on how these bugs help understand stream and river health. ow.ly/IK8H50OoBgi

Thank you The eDNA Society for hosting such an amazing meeting. It was a great honor to deliver the closing keynote.

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