Big changes coming next year. So very grateful for the opportunity and for all the amazing people in my life that have supported me over the years, both inside and outside of science. Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏🙏

Here’s a preprint for a project led by MSc student Robert Hechler and Melania Cristescu - I was lucky to collaborate with them on this project during my first post-doc! Take home -> we were able to detect a transcriptomic response to heat stress in Daphnia using eRNA!

Robert M. Hechler demonstrating the potential of eRNA! Very cool results. Till Macher Florian Leese Dr Kristy Deiner maybe of interest to you? 🤗

So proud of my department McGill Biology and our fantastic students who are working to make academia more accessible through outreach initiatives like this!! reporter.mcgill.ca/video-marks-la… via McGill University

1/ Preprint osf.io/preprints/soca…: “Theoretical foundation and empirical assessment of representation and meritocracy in academia” rachel kusuma giles (she/her) Dr. Alex Davis. Are representation and affirmative action needed in meritocracy? Or do super-meritorious 🧬 lineages exist? 🧑‍⚖️#SCOTUS

Anybody interested in reviewing what looks to be an exciting ecology of #eDNA paper? DM me and I will suggest you as a potential reviewer. I am unfortunately swamped the next 4 weeks but don't want to leave the editor (and authors) hanging

Q for #eDNA folks: is there an extraction kit/spin column that can take RNAlater as input? Filters are stored in RNAlater and I want to extract as much DNA as possible. Thanks!

“The RNA that an organism produces changes in response to the environment or other stress factors. With RNA, we can get some insights into how [organisms] are actually doing.” –Robert Masaki Hechler, University of Toronto bit.ly/3urYN9l

I’ve got a big eDNA paper/preprint to announce – we’ve developed a general framework to unify the simultaneous estimation of numerical abundance (N) and biomass from quantitative eDNA data! Check out our preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2022.1…
