And it's a wrap... three days of solid marine science at #samss2022. So proud of my lab for their involvement, talks, posters and of course the gala dinner dancing and happy of our first in-person conference since 2019! Thank you to the organisers for a super conference.

Awesome opportunity! Thanks for all the hard work from the organising committee! #SASBiSC_Symposium @ProjectSeaStore
Megan Jackson discussed her research wherein she has been "Investigating fine scale population dynamics in the endangered Zostera capensis using RADseq". We can't wait to see your results in the future, Megan!

The seagrass around Green Island is home to some amazing marine life, you can find sharks cruising around the meadows looking for a meal.

We had a super lab hike on #Stellenbosch #mountain this morning. I love this fun research group, who are game even very early in the morning. Thanks everyone - it was a great way to spend some time (even though the views weren’t their best).
It was an amazing opportunity to take part in this course! Can’t wait to get my #Zostera capensis ddRADseq data! Thank you @vonderHeydenlab
Last day of the course "RADseq data analysis" with a great team of instructors (@naiara_re @TerezaManousaki @NataliaDA10) and 31 participants from all over the 🌏🌍 working on many different cool RADseq projects.
Thanks to you all for this great week! 🙏
