This week I had the pleasure of attending the @eDNA_Society annual conference, presenting my research and connecting with many inspiring people working on fascinating projects. Thankful to @UCDSBES and @MIFundingOffice—this would not have been possible without their support! 🎌

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. ☀️

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. 🙏🏻

Summer fieldwork is officially done! ✅
Last week we sampled the final four sites, covering all 40 locations planned for this summer. We simply could not finish this campaign without a minor setback—the van got stuck in the mud while leaving the last site. 🚜 – at Dublin City, Ireland

Grateful for being able to attend the Conservation Genomic Paris conference this week. Another great opportunity to showcase my PhD project and to get in touch with people doing exciting research on #conservation and #eDNA. Special thanks to @Le_Museum and all the organisers. 🇫🇷

Spent some great days in Inverness and got in touch with the latest eDNA research. A huge opportunity to present our project that was fully supported by the @MarineInst. Looking forward to repeating this experience again next year!

First poster presented at the #UKDNAWG24 in Inverness. Had a great time listening to the interesting projects being presented. And no our outfits matching the posters was not intentional. Thanks to the @MarineInst for supporting my attendance.

Great day out visiting a few of our river sites before the sampling work is set to begin. Happy to be joined by @FFossoy from the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research @NINAnature, his insights and knowledge were invaluable.

Have humans been selectively bred to want to control nature? My new essay published with the @longnow goes into why I think we might...

Just back from a brilliant few weeks in the field in Kenya on our elephant project working with @WRTIKenya in Arabuko Sokoke forest.
