Very happy with my very first interview about my #eDNA and #epidemiology work in #krugerpark, South Africa. Thanks to everyone at @SANParksKNP and @acdblab for all your help, it would have not been possible without you!

Super happy to have my model published! Here, we show how biodiversity loss contributes to the increase of disease outbreaks, by the creation of an epidemiological model that can include biodiversity data. Thank you to my co-authors and everyone at UBC!

Thanks, @JohnHolbein1 for the kind support in sharing my work. In the following 🧵let me convey the idea in plain words. I hope that by the end of it, you are open to entertaining the thought that economic growth is always and everywhere a distributional phenomenon 1/#EconTwitter

Known for its champion Trees and striking Plane Tree Avenue, KwaZulu-Natal NBG is a must see! You might even be so lucky as to bump into our favourite gingerbeard man - Ross. #NBGMP

New paper comparing eDNA and camera traps for tracking waterhole visitation

🌊🐆🐘🐃📸🧪🧬📈📉

We took pictures, analyzed DNA in drinking water, built a reference library for vertebrates in the Kruger, and asked how well these tools work (and why!)

The ACDB is excited to host the new group of @go2uj postgraduate students for in-person lectures and practical sessions. Kicking off the semester with taxonomy and DNA barcoding of native flora found around campus!

[Marjolein Toorians @MarieToorians]

These beautiful specimens ⁦@acdblab⁩ almost make me wanna be a botanist!

[Marjolein Toorians @MarieToorians]

Painfully true. Thanks @acdblab #phdlife

I wrote an article and worksheet about how we can leverage science communication to clarify our research vision and gain new inspiration! From the perspective of a grad student navigating this process myself. :) I packed in a bunch of resources for imposter syndrome, too. ❤️
