Today I started out the morning talking about long-read sequencing and prediction models and ended the day by showing Masters students how to take eDNA samples from a river.
How cool is my job!? 🤓 Honestly if I told three-years-ago me what I do for a living he wouldn't have believed it 😃

Some 3600 years later, dogs around the world still do not fully trust that the human will indeed throw the ball if only they drop the ball 😍

I *finally* work in ecology!! 😀🙌
Today is my 1st day as a postdoc in
Eva Sigsgaard's group in the department of biology at
Aarhus University.
I'll be looking at biodiversity, environmental DNA (eDNA) & unsequenced species ("dark taxa").
SO freaking excited! 🥳
And not a bad office view either

Spending the morning with coffee and pastry, planning my WCPG 2023 conference schedule.
And wow is it a great programme!

But speaking from experience, you gotta schedule down-time/time to crash 🤓😴
Conferences can be a lot, look after yourselves pals 💚

Finally on my way to World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics (WCPG) 2023 🧬 in Montreal 🍁
Can't wait to catch up with old pals and of course to give my talk (Wed. 11/10 15:55, Room 513AB) on differences in DNA methylation associated with living in multiple deprivation (low socioeconomic status).
