@piel_lab @ETH @MicroSysEco @lcsb_uni_lu @cc_cbi @Saar_Uni Feeling very honoured for winning the best poster prize 🏆 at the #HIPSsymposium23 with our @eLife study presenting low cost freshwater monitoring by @nanopore sequencing. @Helmholtz_HIPS @Saar_Uni @puntseq @Gates_Cambridge @Cambridge_Uni @EBI @sangerinstitute

[Dr Andre Holzer @AndreHolzer]

Hey students, check out the #LongReadSequencing seminar we are currently offering for students in #bioinformatics @Saar_Uni! We'll be diving into hot topics around @PacBio and @Nanopore sequencing incl. #adaptivesampling, new data analysis tools and more! https://t.co/D9umUGhZfD

Special thanks belong to all our supporters, funders and amazing team members without which this initiative would not have been possible! @Cambridge_Uni @CamUniEngage @_OpenPlant @QIAGEN @nanopore @jjbaronas @mbhall88 @MJScherm @danieljkunz @danieliasmh @Zannah_Du @SurangiPerera1

[Dr Andre Holzer @AndreHolzer]

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🤞!

[EMBL-EBI @emblebi]

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 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.

[Max Stammnitz @maxstammnitz.bsky.social @maxi_prep]

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]

[Oxford Nanopore @nanopore]

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

[Dr Andre Holzer @AndreHolzer]

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

[Cambridge University Public Engagement @CamUniEngage]

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
