Hot off the press! Our #JFB paper showing #eDNA #metabarcoding's ability to give quantitative insights in #AtlanticSalmon distribution in a river: doi.org/10.1111/jfb.... Showing, once again, the value of integrating eDNA into #freshwater #biodiversity monitoring. Big thanks to Nigel Milner!

Check out my recent #JFB Editor's Choice: The grime fighting potential of fish #guts and the battle for responsible consumption doi.org/10.1111/jfb.... It covers some big topics around #capitalism, #consumption, #CircularEconomies and... fish guts? Original article: doi.org/10.1111/jfb....

Just published 'Dietary Differentiation Between Sympatric #Ecotypes of #Astatotilapia calliptera From Lake Masoko, #Tanzania Revealed by Metabarcoding'! bit.ly/3GTRKjI Great to be part of this work led by Dr Kirthana Pillay (FSBI PhD)! Nostalgic, given that my MSci thesis looked at these #cichlids!

Had such a laugh hosting the #FSBI2025 pub quiz last night. Turns out, coming up with 60 questions for a room full of academics, arbiters of truth, is far more difficult than first anticipated...! Felt like a second viva!

The last leg of yesterday's #FSBIGreenTravel, crossing the Irish Sea, quick stop in Dublin and then up north! Such a smooth trip, and a new found love of ferries. The perfect start to #FSBI2025!

The #FSBIGreenTravel to #FSBI2025 continues after a pit stop in Bangor, spending a wonderfully raucous evening with dear friend and colleague, Gary Carvalho! Treated to a bounty of vegetarian dishes. Produce which was in the garden 5 mins before. Now a quick train to Holyhead and the ferry awaits!

On my way to #FSBI2025 in Belfast, and my #FSBIGreenTravel is well underway! The first leg involves a journey from #Cardiff to #Bangor. After making my way through a sea of bucket hats, with the aftermath of Oasis' opening night in Cardiff, I'm on one of Transport for Wales' new, greener trains!

It was a joy to be at NoWPaS again! Taking place in Halifax (NS), it's as vibrant/stimulating as when I attended in 2018. I presented work on #AtlanticSalmon #eDNA, which was selected as best talk in the session! Thanks to @thefsbi.bsky.social & @gensocuk.bsky.social for travel funding! #NoWPaS2025
