There was a time when maniacs, when accused of crimes, would deny and try to conceal evidence.
Now they deny nothing, they boast about the crimes, they are proud of what they do. Because they’ve been enabled, aided, abetted, often celebrated.
This is the era we’re living in.
Yes Zack lad! #hero

Beyond #eDNA potential—this work a major collaborative effort and brings out several key lessons learned from applying #eDNA for monitoring diadromous fish-what works, what needs caution. @thefsbi.bsky.social #JFB onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @azti.bsky.social #SeaLamprey
Incredibile to see how the fear of the Greens can instil such reactionary emotions from the legacy left. They’d prefer to be crushed by the corporate Evil for the sake of not admitting that it’s time for an alternative route
The ratio between toxic and pernicious uses of AI vs useful ones is about 10:1
A video viewed over 1.7 million times appears to show an interview with two Muslim women saying people shouldn’t bring dogs to the beach.
It’s generated a huge amount of negative engagement and comments, but it’s fake. It’s been created with AI.

What fresh hell is this??
Seriously?
LEBENSRAUM
Following Adolf Hitler's rise to power, Lebensraum became an ideological principle of Nazism and provided justification for the German territorial expansion into Central and Eastern Europe.
Israel is practicing Nazi Ideology.

Brilliant! How easy is that?
This should happen everywhere!
This year‘s #UKDNAWG meeting in #Sheffield was an absolute whirlwind of updates and productive discussions. Thank you so much @ukdnawg.bsky.social for having me and your enthusiasm for #eDNAEurope! 🤩
😂
Thanks for all your work Andy 🙌🏽
It pains me not to have been there!
Thanks for carrying the flag brilliantly @rdowell.bsky.social
Portfolio day job hunters, if you do wildlife/creature/nature related stuff, ping me and I'll boost you. A significant chunk of my audience is in the scicomm/education/museum circles.
My DM is also open, but note that bsky's algorithm has been weird about people sending links lately.

Fab talk by Nathan Griffiths on invertebrate #eDNA #metabarcoding for statutory #lake assessment in Scotland. Initial results are promising for high quality sites, but low quality sites may be overestimated by #eDNA. Also need to consider reference database coverage and sampling effort #UKDNAWG26

Nice talk by Ruaidhri Forrester on using #eDNA #metabarcoding to locate #coregonid spawning grounds. High read counts correspond to locations of known spawning grounds in spawning season. Relationship spatially explicit and not seen outside spawning season, but not consistent across lakes #UKDNAWG26

Absolutely blown away by the pure, unadulterated brilliance by these two amazing young women driving #marine #eDNA science forward!
Thank you @giumaiello.bsky.social and #ErikaNeave for gracing us.

It sounds quite gatekeepy and controlling.
Pay the reviewers to produce fast reviews then!
Wow…
I don’t like that

And despite the fame, status and history of the fish, for an article about #cod, the newspaper picks a photo of…?
No wonder we’ve always felt strongly about #seafood #literacy:

What Israel is doing, relentlessly, is a stain on humanity as a whole. Wherever we are, whatever we do, we must speak out against it and do anything in our power to distance ourselves from and hinder that unthinkable horror.

This time the sponges didn’t work that great, but #eDNA still proved to be a remarkable tool to study #tropicalization in the #Mediterranean
And so many warm memories of that summer!
