Twitter/X has become an insufferable echo chamber of hatred and conspiracy. Find me with the same handle where the sky is bluer. I may have invites if you need one.

Finally online! Whitehead et al. comparison of scent detection canines and #eDNA for detection of zebra mussels in environmental samples. https://t.co/MfrPmsc1Jd

@dsyzdek Let's see if this one works https://t.co/I0sx4QjMxt

That’s cute.

I have seen all 4 of these lines of best fit in published peer-reviewed papers and oddly the top left is probably the rarest type 📉

@alpineedna Excited to pick out my lakes on the map!

I took the liberty of posting your message over on Bluesky this morning, so hopefully a few more reach out to you.

[Matthew A Barnes @drbarnes]

Extremely cool!

In a month we have received interest from 100s people who will join us on May 22, 2024 to sample #biodiversity with #eDNA in the lakes below 🎉. But we have to make this truly global. If you see a gap and want to join us sign up here --> https://t.co/xFHDW93ybh

There's still time to apply! Come work with me! https://t.co/vr0A1ysywD

Nice demonstration of the kind of analysis former PhD student Mark Johnson wrote about here (https://t.co/TSnmm9iPHh) and here (https://t.co/XmoL7CyC4U)

@jess_rieder eDNA Scientists: I've got a few referral codes to share. DM me if needed!

Spare a thought for UPenn’s public relations team today trying to work out what to say about the Medicine Nobel Prize going to one of their Profs and another Prof they kicked out for not doing faculty-level research.

[Matthew A Barnes @drbarnes]

@Penn @NobelPrize Her tenure review must have been a slam dunk...

Steve Scalise tweeted this two years ago.

Today, Steve Scalise is wearing a mask on the House floor to protect himself after undergoing treatment for cancer.

Funny how one’s opinions change once they are personally affected.

The field of molecular ecology + Canadian science have lost a giant today. Louis Bernatchez inspired many and was a tireless supporter of 100s of young researchers over 4 decades of his highly distinguished career. Thanks for being such a great academic dad to many of us Louis
