eDNA population genetics, 🧬 herptofauna, indigenous data sovereignty, Pokémon, and everything in between!
This Wednesday, Professor Phillip Wilcox and I will be giving a webinar on #Indigenous #data #sovereignty and #environmental #DNA as part of the Wai Tuwhera o te Taiao programme webinar series run by the Environmental Protection Authority NZ. #eDNA events.teams.microsoft.com/event/5dbf89...
Check out our correspondence in Nature Reviews Biodiversity about the need for Indigenous voices when using genome engineering for conservation & frankly 'de-extinction' www.nature.com/articles/s44... - @universityofotago.bsky.social Phil Wilcox, @clare-edna.bsky.social, & Riley Taitingfong 1/12 🧵

Save the date! Free webinar - 21st November: Women in Ocean Science x environmental DNA With superstars Dr Miwa Takahashi (@csiropublishing.bsky.social) and Dr Lara Denis Roy (@utas.edu.au) #eDNA #WomenInOceanScience
Southern eDNA Society@sednasociety.bsky.social · 9mo agoThe next SeDNAs webinar will be all about Women in Ocean Science. We have 2 great speakers, Dr Miwa Takahashi (CSIRO / IMOS) & Dr Lara Denis Roy (UTAS). Miwa will talk about the newly launched IMOS eDNA facility, while Lara will be discussing her Australia-wide comparison with visual survey methods.
@sednasociety.bsky.social (and Women in #Ocean #Science) are hosting a #webinar highlighting great work that our #marine #eDNA #community is doing! Be sure to tune in for some valuable #insights on new #results in the #eDNA field. @ednaquaplan.bsky.social @csiropublishing.bsky.social @utas.edu.au
We're hosting a #career panel for #WomenInOceanScience with a lovely panel of #marine-focused #women. They'll talk about their #career #journey and how they contribute to #ocean #science. @universityofotago.bsky.social @hollykoch20.bsky.social @zoologyotago.bsky.social @tuhura.bsky.social

#GFANZ is hosting @nicrawlencenz.bsky.social to talk about the de-extinction debate. (Sorry, more #aDNA than eDNA)
Nic Rawlence@nicrawlencenz.bsky.social · 10mo agoI have a double bill of public talks coming up on MythBusting de-extinction to sort fact from fiction. It will be good to see you all there. On Tues 14th Oct 11am-12.30pm NZ time I'll be giving an online talk with Genomics for Aotearoa NZ. You can register here (otago.zoom.us/webinar/regi...) 1/2

Great news! We are restarting our eDNA webinar series this year to share exciting new research with the eDNA community. Our first webinar is by Josh Koh (DCCEEW): Explainable Multimodal Machine Learning Using Combined environmental DNA and Biogeographic Features for Ecosystem Biomonitoring
At Queenstown Research Week, Ben Te Aikā talks about how Māori philosophy differs from Western philosophy:
The New Zealand Molecular Ecology conference returns for its 27th year! This meeting brings together students, researchers, & industry to divulge the latest in ecological genomics and eDNA. This year, the meeting is held in Raglan, 26-28th of November. You won’t want to miss it! shorturl.at/inWqz

@alexeidrummond.bsky.social gave a wonderful keynote at @geneticsaus.bsky.social about how Bayesian/MCMC #models can be used on #cancer cells to determine when they originated and updates on #LPhy for all those #evolutionary #biologists out there.
Libby Liggins and Claire Rye chat about the #Aotearoa #Genomics #Data #Repository, including how #metadata can be submitted (including #eDNA). They are hoping to take #indigenous #governance to the #Genomic #Standards #Consortium later this year… @geneticsaus.bsky.social
@testeeves.bsky.social chats at @geneticsaus.bsky.social about how #genetics could play a role in careful #management of small endangered #bird populations.
