Tonight the winners of the @CambridgeIndy#SciTechAwards will be announced! Honored to be nominated for the STEM Initiative of the Year award together with @LaraUrban42 & @DevilsAdvoMax & our DNA-sequencing based water monitoring initiative @puntseq. Good luck to all finalists🤞!
Curious about the microbiome found in your local river? The @puntseq team are using portable sequencing technology to monitor bacteria in the river Cam to help reduce the spread of waterborne diseases among swimmers 🏊♀️ and rowers 🚣♂️. #WorldMicrobiomeDay

I was invited to present @puntseq's study on leptospira in the River Cam at the annual meeting of the European #Leptospirosis Society: https://t.co/Ov5H4eVyjH Please join if you are interested @Cambridge_Uni@emblebi@WolfsonCam or read more here: https://t.co/Ylh9MxXhyo
Introducing https://t.co/qY8n6TSB4d: a pilot-stage project designed to support faster, more localised DNA sequencing of #criticallyendangered species, using the latest ultra-long read approaches from @nanopore. Read more: https://t.co/ZM6uaxakmd
I made a few Winogradsky columns from the river #Granta last summer, so in winter I tried using mud/water from the same site. It took a while to get going but so beautiful now! And definitely distinct from the summer jars.

One can’t highlight enough the importance of freshwater protection #WorldWaterDay 🌍💧🚰. Billions of people live without access to #safewater. Considering this, @puntseq aims to empower citizens to assess and monitor local freshwater quality. @eLife

Interested in #eDNA research? Come to the @GeneticsOtago eDNA Hub Inaugural Meeting: https://t.co/Bc73AXD3P1
I was invited to present some of my eDNA projects, including freshwater surveillance using @nanopore@puntseq, and #kākāpō as well as marine biodiversity monitoring.
Very happy to see our Nanopore Freshwater Microbiome Surveillance benchmark out @eLife!
… an exceptional collaboration with inspiring life scientists, tech-enthusiasts and friends in DNA city. A little tale from “behind the scenes” [1/15]
We caught up with the @puntseq team last year to find out more about the team's work looking at freshwater metagenomes. You can read the interview here: https://t.co/pr1unoUEnn

Our new study published in @eLife describes how the world's smallest portable DNA sequencing device @nanopore can be employed to simplify #water#monitoring around the globe. Great teamwork by @puntseq and special thanks to my co-authors Lara and Max!👉https://t.co/Lii7fPqs8j
We are delighted to present our @cambridge_Uni 2020 Vice Chancellor’s Awards. These awards celebrate a broad range of research impact and engagement achievements among staff at all career stages, including professional staff #VCAwards2020
Join @CamUniEngage’s live stream today at 2pm UK time when @Cambridge_Uni VC Professor Stephen Toope is going to announce the winners of this years #VCAwards2020
New edition of “The Scholar“ magazine came out this month. A pleasure to write an article about our #CitizenScience project @puntseq on how real-time #DNA#sequencing approaches #nanopore#metagnomics#edna can support global water monitoring efforts 👇
