Georgia Nester

Deep-sea postdoctoral researcher, expanding the footprint of #eDNA in the deep-sea. Interested in exploring novel methodologies and technological applications

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

Our #review of the past 10 years of aquatic eDNA is here! We looked at 407 manuscripts and provide:
- 17 key considerations to guide study design and method selection
- a list of 663 PCR primers for aquatic eDNA research (largest to date)

An overview of our recent trip to the Nova-Canton trough where we collected 438 deep-sea eDNA samples. Working with @deepseauwa on these expeditions has been an absolute blast!

Special thanks to the team on board @elinthom & Meg Cundy, Inkfish, and @minderoo

STUDYING #deepsea AMPHIPODS
PhD student Jenny Wainwright had the opportunity to collect hadal and abyssal dwelling amphipods from 3000 to 8000 meters for the very first time in the Nova Canton Trough.

Working closely with myself and the @deepseauwa research centre, we are seeking a team player with a passion for marine biology or genetics and strong analytical skills. Research, lab, or sea experience is a plus!

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

Join the @minderoo OceanOmics team as a Deep-Sea Research Assistant! You'll assist in voyage planning, fieldwork, and lab operations (eDNA and genomic).

@biodavi Hi Davincho! At the moment no unfortunately, but if we cannot find a suitable candidate we may be able to open internationally.

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

Dive into the deep!🪼 Exciting #PhD opportunity at @deepseauwa and @minderoo for Aus and NZ students! Use #eDNA and other genetic tools to explore biodiversity and investigate trophic relationships in deep-sea environments

https://t.co/cmaY1ZqayV

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

Successful candidate will have an undergraduate degree, honours OR masters degree in a related field (marine or molecular ecology/biology, genetics) and research experience. Spread the word or apply by emailing me at [email protected]

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

Candidate will be supervised by myself, @Hadalbloke and Prof Simon Jarman @CurtinEandA. Based at UWA @BiolSci_UWA in Perth (WA), this project has some amazing field trips exploring the depths of the ocean!

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

Super thrilled and proud with where I am! Couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of my supervisors Euan Harvey, Mike Bunce, and @ZoeR_Coral and the amazing @Curtin_TrEnD

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

To explain my absence on here, I am #PhDone !!! I have officially conferred and begun my new post doc with @minderoo working closely with the @deepseauwa research centre! Looking forward to exploring the #deepsea with #eDNA! Having a blast so far (see cheesy smile below)

[Georgia Nester @gnester]

My thesis looked at monitoring hard to reach environments (Antarctic open ocean and the deep sea) and threatened species (syngnathids). It’s available to all here https://t.co/2KjqoZR0fV

#eDNA is revolutionizing #biodiversity sciences, #ecology & #evolution.

While we totally agree on its opportunities, @CoutonMarjorie, @Fred__Viard and I call for some caution regarding inherent limits for its use for #population #genetics.
