I now have the perfect video for the intro slide on #eDNA presentations where I say "things shed DNA as they swim around".

Shrimp night at the lamp! 🦐🦐🦐Very different from pre-Tsunami.🌊 We suspect it may have caused some interesting changes that triggered the shrimp to spawn.
Good thing we had a time series running before the tsunami 😈. That paper just got a bit more interesting

Behold Aequorea victoria, best known for its fluorescent protein: GFP!🟢
Awesome to see this thing, specially in the very place GFP was first discovered!
This very jellyfish individual is probably related to those who had their GFP isolated at FHL, which ultimately led to the 2008 Nobel prize.

The ocean is a terrifying yet fascinating place.
That eDNA sample will get swamped by #polychaete sperm.

Sometimes we make friends when birding. 🦆
I suspect someone is feeding these ducks, or they were seeking some protection from the nearby bald eagle🦅
