@Laurence_1211 @KingsForensics @VerogenBio @Royalcom1851 Congratulations! 🎉

[Laurence Devesse @Laurence_1211]

Great to see applications and abstracts coming in for #GRSForensics2022! This meeting is organised by young scientists, for young scientists, in an informal setting to present your data and network with your peers. https://t.co/Nm9u3VE3l6 #ForensicDNA #AcademicChatter 🧬🧬

[Rebecca Richards @beka_richards]

@anastasialiferi @OdedRechavi Great entertainment for the PhD meeting 😂

[Olivier Tytgat @TytgatOlivier]

Pre-proof of our latest paper on forensic STR and SNP @nanopore sequencing is now available at FSI Genetics! https://t.co/SUEgEdmFeo

1 week left to apply! This is a fantastic group to work with!

[Miles Benton @miles_benton]

We're excited to be looking for a Post Doc to join our @ESRNewZealand Human Genomics team. Have experience in epigenetics and @nanopore sequencing? This might be for you.

Interested? More details here: https://t.co/HF3h3LaRTO

Happy to answer any questions (here or via email).

Take part in London Calling 2021 - online and for free! I am stoked to be one of the plenary speakers - I am going to talk about how adaptive sampling can support the conservation of endangered species such as the #kākāpō. Thank you for supporting ECRs, @nanopore!

Thrilled for our covid team who have just been awarded the @science_nz Supreme Award🥳 for their tireless determination and innovation!! Helping keep the team of five million healthy and safe from the #COVID19 pandemic #Science4NZ

[Rebecca Richards @beka_richards]

Looking forward to all the upcoming talks at the #NanoporeConf! And super proud of @ESRNewZealand MSc student Olivia Stroeven's great work so far this year - check out the mini theatre for an update on @nanopore tech in #ForensicScience 🔎🩸🧪🧬

[CHI_ResearchUnit @UNTHFW_CHI_RDU]

The mtGenome is an effective tool for typing low-template DNA and degraded remains. If you’re new to mito, @bethkforsythe and @ESRNewZealand have put together a great primer in @WIREs_Reviews. Educate yourself:

I am so pleased that the third in a series of papers of our work has been accepted. For me the Y-STR papers and this work provide really important insights for forensic practitioners. All credit to Dr Patricia Albani for her outstanding work.

@TytgatOlivier @SenneCornelis @fvnieuwe @UNTCHI_RDU join us next year and we might have enough talks for a breakout session! 🕵🏻

[Rebecca Richards @beka_richards]

The best thing about @NanoporeConf? Meeting others in your #forensic field and discussing shared #nanopore research interests! Welcome to London Calling @zakayuen21 #NanoporeConf

[Rebecca Richards @beka_richards]

Our research using @nanopore technologies for forensic science is available on demand! Also highlights great research from @SenneCornelis and @TytgatOlivier. Amazing job by @NanoporeConf with the virtual set up!

[Anderson Oaikhena @anderson_ose]

Interesting talk by @beka_richards on use of Nanopore sequencing in forensics. Check it out in the 'Mini theater' #nanoporeconf

[Rebecca Richards @beka_richards]

@anderson_ose Thanks @anderson_ose hope you are taking care and your research is going well! Look forward to seeing you in person at the next one!

[Rebecca Richards @beka_richards]

@aemidr @NanoporeConf @nanopore Thanks @aemidr the potential of this technology is so exciting for so many fields! Enjoy the rest of the conference!

[Rebecca Richards @beka_richards]

Best start to the long weekend finding out my abstracts have been accepted for #IAFS2020 (now #IAFS2021)! So excited to share my research in #forensic #epigenetics for age estimation and identical twin differentiation 🕵🏻‍♀️ #phdlife
