Our project "Making #eDNA FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperbale, Reuable)" is now part of the UN Ocean Decade Actions and OBON programmes. We're very excited to connect with other researchers and communities through this incredible opportunity!

[UN Ocean Decade @UNOceanDecade]

As part of the @OBON_Ocean Programme, 2️⃣ new #OceanDecade Actions will help in understanding ocean life better:

👉 Collecting and analysing genetic material shed into surrounding environment
👉 A library with expertly curated DNA reference sequences

What has happened in the last decade in the #eDNA world? Lots of useful information summarised in this review for future studies in #ecology !
It was a fun project, working, learning and brain storming with many of the great eDNA scientists!! @Curtin_TrEnD @eDNAfrontiers @CSIRO

[TrEnD Lab @Curtin_TrEnD]

407+ manuscripts reviewed, 663 #PCR primers catalogued, and 17 guidelines to advance aquatic #eDNA research! #OpenAccess and led by @miwa_ocean and @MattiSacco, thx to all the co-authors!

New #eDNA #survey reveals that the iconic #Irwin's #turtle is still present in the lower Burdekin River, #QLD. This #turtle had not been seen in some areas since the 1990s.

We had fun this week introducing #eDNA to students in the @CurtinUni @CurtinStem DISCOVER program for WA's new science legends. Particularly enjoyed the bioinformatics session reading out A, G, C and T's - was like a verbal sequencing facility! @curtin_trend @CurtinEandA

@Matt_Heydenrych @Curtin_TrEnD @BiolSci_UWA @BunceDNA Congrats!!! 👏🙌🥳After how many papers you co-authored?! Like 10 or 20?

What did we find in Cockburn Sound with the #csbpcoastalconnections team ? Lots of things! @miwa_ocean delivered a great explanation to the crowd at the showcase event. #eDNA @Curtin_TrEnD

@alishum_ali @katfiishn You mean PhD, or covid? or both? I feel you...

Excited to be taking part in the #csbpcoastalconnections hosted by @PerthNRM today as part of our #sequencingourseas #eDNA initiative! #metabarcoding @Curtin_TrEnD @CurtinUni @csbp_coastal_connections

@TanikaCShalders Euan recommended Dragon but it's only for windows☹️

[Miwa Takahashi @miwa_ocean]

What is the best speech recognition software for Mac to write thesis? I have the final thesis crush month ahead, and am struggling with arthritis😭Nuance Dragon seems to be only for Windows. #PhD #arthritis #writingtips

[Miwa Takahashi @miwa_ocean]

Thank you @TanikaCShalders @alishum_ali !! I started using dictation function that came with this laptop. It's not perfect (blaming on the quality of the microphone and program rather than my accent😂) but good enough to type less and reduce pain🙌

If the government can suddenly decide to spend another £100bn on containing Covid-19, it shows that state failures to address our climate and ecological emergencies have nothing to do with a lack of money and everything to do with a lack of will.
