Last week at the River #Usk , local citizen science groups joined us and our #CaSTCo partners for an #eDNA WaterBlitz! Besides scientific value, the event demonstrated how #citizenscience can incorporate advanced monitoring techniques. Stay tuned for exciting results! Cardiff University

Had fun writing this Issue's #JFB Between the Covers: Macabre ‘Finding Nemo’ remake, starring the reticulated damselfish.
The study by Sakai et al examined female reticulated damsel parental care. Behaviour changed after a bout of offspring cannibalism! bit.ly/49ZcezV

Had a lovely time yesterday by the river with Franek Bydałek and Garmon filming this eDNA sampling tutorial! Spring air, chirping birds and a bit of scinece - bliss. Will be sharing the video soon!

Some rare footage of me doing things other than data analysis!! Flying the flag for eDNA #biodiversity monitoring in a time of global environmental change, as well as talking about the work done on WEWASH - Wastewater Monitoring in Wales! Exciting stuff 😃

Freshwater habitats all over the globe are undergoing massive change due to anthropogenic pressures. Monitoring them is more important than ever and one revolutionary way to do this is through #eDNA . William Perry gives us a guide below

Spring has got the garden inhabitants in an amorous mood! Two common green shieldbugs (Palomena prasina), I believe! #UKWildlife #Garden #Shieldbugs #Nature

Thanks to the #FSBITravelGrant , Lotte Pohl from Flanders Marine Institute - VLIZ attended the 8th Biologging Science Symposium BLS8 Tokyo. She presented her work from a recent collaboration with Ifremer 🌊 on modelling migration paths of bottom-dwelling fish. #Biologging #TrackingNotSlacking

Lovely summary of Adrian Rinaldo’s work as part of the inventWater project ISIMIP Marine Institute Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC Philip McGinnity

Using #LTER data from Burrishoole salmon to explore climate impacts on fish growth 🐟🐟🌡️🌡️

Check out my recent #JFB Between the Covers - 'They grow up so fast, especially when #GlobalWarming is concerned'.
Great paper by Rinaldo et al. Multidecade dataset used to predict Atlantic #salmon demographics under #ClimateChange - profound effects! bit.ly/3JHAWKF

Fantastic time Microbiology Society annual conference talking about our work Bangor University on monitoring AMR in wastewater, environment and shellfisheries as part of #WEWASH and UK #PATHSAFE projects #Microbio24

Great to present some of the WEWASH - Wastewater Monitoring in Wales #WBE work today at #Microbio24 ! Mainly focused on our SARS-CoV-2 #wastewater variant analysis from whole genome sequencing, while also giving a plug to our recent paper in STOTEN (doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…). Thanks for having me, Microbiology Society!

Excellent talk from Andrew Singer (Andrew Singer) on wastewater surveillance #Microbio24 Microbiology Society COVIDPoops19

Based on my recent Conversation article, and might be of interest to some at #Microbio24 !

Excited to attend my 1st Microbiology Society conference this week in Edinburgh! I'll be presenting work on Thur from WEWASH - Wastewater Monitoring in Wales (SARSCoV2 variants, wastewater v clinical testing). I also opted for the low CO2 Caledonian Sleeper to get to #Microbio24 , spending a lovely/windy weekend in Edinburgh!
