My new review on the decay and transport of #eDNA in different environments is now out in #ProcB! We discuss mechanisms that affect the fate of #eDNA and highlight the need for basic science to understand eDNA dynamics. @JennSunday

@WorkHardBeKind5 Is it possible for you to take a leave of absence for six months or so? Many programs will allow that for health reasons, including mental health. Unless you're leaving the field entirely, I'd be concerned that you'd have a really tough time finding a position
In the lab at 6am this morning to talk about #fish and #science with a year 2 class from the UK, courtesy of #SkypeAScientist! I've had a few matches this year and honestly I've so much fun with them.
If you would like a 4inch x 4inch BugFacts Hotline sticker to put in a *PUBLIC PLACE* where lots of people will see it (legally), we'll mail it to you!
We want to spread these bug facts past the confines of social media!

@BerndHaenfling Waterra and Envirochek were better, but it was difficult to dry them out and I was always worried about diluting buffer or otherwise affecting preservation. Plus they were a pain to extract from if you didn't shell out for the full equipment, which I never had the budget for.
@BerndHaenfling Is "none of them an option"? 🤣 I've used Sterivex, Waterra, and Envirochek. Sterivex was fine for mesocosms, but even with pre-filtering they clogged every time you looked at them wrong in real streams.
@DanielleClake and I are hosting a workshop this evening showing how to use #R to analyze and display spatial data! Check out wics.uofc on instagram or linkedin for more info.

I did my first @SkypeScientist chat with a group of 7th and 8th graders from Minnesota today, and it such a great experience! We talked about ecology research, wild animal encounters, and counting fish with DNA. #STEMeducation#outreach#eDNA
It is unfathomable that @jkenney would keep @shandro in his role, given what has occurred. This Minister has become a giant distraction during a public health crisis. The Premier should reconsider this terrible decision immediately #ableg#abhealth
This year we will be announcing our award winners a little different than normal. All nominees will be announced throughout the day today, and all the winners will be announced next Wednesday.
So without further ado, here are our female rookie of the year nominees!
@thoughtsofaphd@UCalgary shut down last week. I also really appreciate they told us as soon as they were starting to talk about it, so we had some official word instead of just crazy rumours in the days leading up to it.

Thought I’d spread abit of positivity for you guys. Since the lockdown of Venice without the pollution from boats the water has been begun to clear up and a dolphin has been spotted in the canal for the first time in nearly 60 years! #venice
