The White Shark Chase is expanding eDNA sampling and testing #citizenScience kits! PhD student Jeremy Jenrette and SeaKeepers Society have just completed a transect along the Adriatic Sea aboard TE STREEP. Another team is operating between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia. #WSC2024

There’s more to blue cheese than just the stench. Virginia Tech researchers discovered a way to synthesize a compound in the mold of blue cheese that has antibacterial and anticancer properties. Congratulations Sydney Johnson and Pablo Sobrado😎👏news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…
