For #NationalScienceWeek 🌏 I'm celebrating the incredible citizen scientists helping us test airborne eDNA capture devices — from tree canopies to bushland tracks. Every filter they collect holds a hidden record of the biodiversity in the air we breathe. 🧬💨

🚨 Calling all eDNA folks! 🚨
The 2027 Southern #eDNA Society Conference is coming to Canberra.
We’re forming the Organising Committee—keen on science, comms, logistics, or hosting? Get in touch or tag a mate! Let’s make this a good one.

Aus/NZ don't yet have a "national eDNA strategy" but the real game changer for our region is that we have a great collaborative culture (e.g., @sednasociety.bsky.social!)

Roller swabbing can pick up localised #eDNA but how the heck do you get it off the roller?
PhD student Austin Guthrie recommends roller trimming and automated extraction.
