How, what, and where of environmental DNA #eDNA 🤔 Happy to share our newest publication exploring how volume of water processed and the pore size of the filter impacts the diversity of plant and animal communities captured via metabarcoding. 1/n https://t.co/t69KaxSfVu

I am grateful to everyone who contributed to the work, and to the people who took the time to read and engage with it. Here are are links to the papers >>> Environmental DNA: https://t.co/LZBwxrKST9 and >>> WIRES water: https://t.co/3uEiHShGgG

A small piece of happy news: two papers we published in 2024 ended up in the top 10% most-read papers in their respective journals. It's so gratifying to know that our work is having an impact!

[Anish Kirtane @DNAsaur_]

These papers are a reminder that science is a collaborative process. Ideas develop when people with different perspectives spend time thinking through them together. A lot of what ended up in these papers came from discussions in the field, lab meetings, and coffee chats.

Themes:-
Session 1:- Trust the process
Session 2:- How to focus on the important details

Will you join the next one ?

Most days I do science at the University, and art at home. Sometimes, I get to bring the art with me to the University.

Great 2-day workshop with students from @ETH and @UZH_en . I was amazed to see how naturally everyone was able to pick up watercolor techniques and vision.

We kicked off this semester's #SMEE with two great talks by @DNAsaur_ and @phagemuffin.

In this study, researchers demonstrate that #diatom DNA #metabarcoding can provide consistent freshwater biomonitoring results across labs, emphasising the need for standardised protocols.

This is my first metabarcoding study that was conceptualized back in 2021, with a small idea and fantastic collaborators. Thanks to Florida @MaggieEHunter and Montana @gordon_luikart groups ! Big thanks to @alpineedna for the mentorship and support over the years! 7/n
