[David Dao @dwddao]

For the last 4 years, I've had the privilege of leading the @ETHBiodivX team with @alpineedna and @stefanomintchev as we competed in the @xprize Rainforest 🌿🌎

Our team has prepared a three part mini series on our work in the beautiful Amazon rainforest

Watch Part 1 below 👇

We went sampling to the mangrove ecosystem in Chiapas, Mexico for the #LeDNA project . Thanks to @alpineedna and @CatiaALPereira, park biologists & fishermen. Hopefully #eDNA from these birds was captured!

[Swissnex in Brazil @swissnexBrazil]

🌿 Discover the tech behind @ETHBiodivX, @xprize Rainforest finalist!🧬They bridge biodiversity gaps with drones collecting eDNA samples from forests and water sources. Their eDNA Backpack Lab enables rapid, on-the-go environmental DNA analysis. #XPRIZE #Biodiversity

[Andrea Desiderato @AndreaDesidera2]

What we are building is not for us "scientists" it is for #Everyone! This is what will change the world, the #people will change it, and the first step will be here in the Amazon empowering the indigenous to study and protect their own homes!
@ETHBiodivX @kzbih_ul @GainForestNow

[David Dao @dwddao]

We might not be the Brazilian Team, but we are the Amazonian one 🪶
I'm so proud of @GainForestNow and @ETHBiodivX for bringing Indigenous and local community voices to the @xprize Rainforest competition - and we are just getting started 💚

1/4 🌿 Exciting news! Last month, SNI was honored to participate in the @WorldBioForum in Davos.

Our Head of Field Research & Partnerships, @AleMazzi333, shared our innovative approach using blockchain to fund and monitor biodiversity projects.

[Dr Kristy Deiner @alpineedna]

@BrendanFWallace Google probably has that data 🤣

[Dr Kristy Deiner @alpineedna]

@dpoljuha @CatiaALPereira @ETH_en Thank you all so much!! Looking forward to what we find together :) 😀

[Danijela Poljuha @dpoljuha]

Finally, here are the videos recorded during #eDNA sampling at #LakeButoniga,#Croatia.A big Thanks to @alpineedna, @CatiaALPereira and @ETH_en team for the great opportunity to be #unitedinscience!
*the end of the video1 is a nod to the Swiss/Croatian #eurovision2024 rivalry ;)

[Martin Schletterer @m_schletterer]

Great fieldwork with Toni & @David_10hd at #Hintersteiner #See to collect #eDNA samples for the #LeDNA project! Glad to contribute to this global #lake #biodiversity assessment, led by @alpineedna & @CatiaALPereira from @ETH_en!! #TIWAG @BOKUvienna #PartofthePlan #ForNature

[Dr Kristy Deiner @alpineedna]

@AntaoGeraldes @CatiaALPereira @ETH @usys_ethzh Do reach out! Thanks for flagging.

[Dr Kristy Deiner @alpineedna]

#LeDNA samples arriving back daily 🎉💥 Already we have 32 samples! We are keeping a map where every lake will get a pin (we need better colors!) Can't wait to see this full. All in the name of #biodiversity #eDNA #PartofthePlan #ForNature

[Dr Kristy Deiner @alpineedna]

@OWONicolasRola1 @OuattaraKoffiN1 @nguekouame @edelrieutrottin @eDNA_Society @EdnaEecology @LaurenceDNA Thank you the dedication to the project for some unique samples to be sure!

[OWO Nicolas @OWONicolasRola1]

The BUYO sampling was really difficult due to access to the lake and eDNA sampling but the members of my strong and experienced team, in the end they emerged victorious as usual. thanks @OuattaraKoffiN1 @nguekouame (N'GUESSAN KOUAMÉ Emmanuel @blackboy (HONGO Koffi Anderson).

[Anish Kirtane @DNAsaur_]

Newest paper with @alpineedna investigating best strategies to extract dissolved state of eDNA is now published in Environmental DNA journal ! We compared three approaches on their effectiveness in recovering max DNA, removing inhibitors and cost (1/5)

[Dr Kristy Deiner @alpineedna]

@OWONicolasRola1 @EugeniaZarza @ambulanzen @LaurenceDNA @nguekouame @OuattaraKoffiN1 Beautiful and hard won sample! The pumping does get a bit harder at the end for sure, but looks like it worked well. Thank you for the efforts and can't wait to see what we find! More about the project here: https://t.co/0A2WqRvXQW
