One thing I enjoy about working as a researcher while studying is occasionally I get to drop everything PhD related and do something completely different. Recently, I helped test the water quality of @WWTs wetland treatment systems.#PhDSky #eDNA #PhDlife #Lablife #wetlands #waterquality #AcademicSky

Got a spare minute during a centrifuge spin or short incubation? Why not try some glove doodling? Here are a few of my own (artistic talent not guaranteed). #PhDSky #eDNA #PhDlife #Lablife #AcademicSky

Had an awesome time at the @NEOF eDNA metabarcoding course at the University of Sheffield a couple of weeks ago. Pretty sure I finally understand how it works now—big win! 🧬🔍
