Poop-derived DNA reveals these new-ish residents are probably British. Maybe Scandinavian. Who knows! Catch these mysterious, well-groomed ducks around the Wicklow mountains. https://t.co/3bD3IWNETP

We had an amazing time at the Native Species Festival at @DublinZoo this May! Over 13,000 visitors, including 900+ schoolkids, joined us in celebrating Ireland’s native #wildlife.
Huge thanks to the hosts for an inspiring event! 👏🏻

Spent a memorable day at Lake Kasumigaura, enjoying its natural beauty and discussing how agriculture shapes the surrounding landscape. Grateful for the chance to explore Japan’s unique ecosystems and learn about sampling methods used at @NIES_JP. ☀️

[Robert Moise @robertmoise_]

Had a fantastic day at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (@NIES_JP) in Tsukuba. Thank you to Prof. Kondo and colleagues for their warm welcome, interest, and feedback on my presentation about @HydroGen_A52 and a study on pollinators using #eDNA. 🙏🏻

[Robert Moise @robertmoise_]

It was a pleasure to be invited to #ScienceWeek at @AirfieldEstate and share the exciting #eDNA research we are conducting at @area52lab! 👨‍🔬
