Urban tropical marine #biodiversity has been understudied. Scientists @SWIMSHKU, using metabarcoding & sampling structures known as ARMS, showed that biodiversity of invertebrates in Hong Kong seas is remarkably high, even at highly impacted sites. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.111…

Day 10: We made it! 🌟 Our first workshop has come to the end. Big congratulations to our participants, we can’t wait to see more researchers to integrate eDNA in their research! Thank you again to our guests lecturers and helpers. This workshop won’t happen without you all!

I had a blast co-chairing the giant clam session yesterday! Lot of good science! Thank you to all the presenters and to the chairs @MeilinNeo @likeat92

Really great talk from @ocean_roisin yesterday!! Looking forward to get the big picture. Well done!

Registration are open for the 1st International eDNA workshop in HK (16-27 Oct) !! Come and learn from our guest expert in eDNA !!

1st eDNA Workshop in HK‼️ Do you want to integrate eDNA methodologies into your research? We will cover the fieldwork practice, lab and data analysis for the participants to be able to run their own eDNA study afterwards. Registration & details: seymourlab.net/edna-workshop-…

@ClementTanvet @RMetalpa @BenzoniFran @jpGattuso @LemarLab @UMREntropie Bravo !!!

So delighted to finally made it !! 🎓🪸🍾#Doctor Thanks to my supervisors @RMetalpa, Gérard Thouzeau and Jill Sutton. A huge thanks to all the jury Paola Furla, @BenzoniFran, Paolo Montagna, Alexander Venn, and to @jpGattuso for holding the presidency. 🙏 @LemarLab @UMREntropie

Stay tuned for registration!! This is going to be fun !! We will host amazing experts in the field from overseas 🧑‍🔬🤓🧬💧

RT @MatSeymour: Excited to annouce we will host the first Hong Kong eDNA workshop this October @HKUSBS with support from the @croucherFDN…

No reward - no duties.  75% of respondents have reduced the hours spent on academic duties since 2020 (Nature polls). Mostly due to burnout and unwillingness to work for free. This included attending conferences, peer reviewing manuscripts and grant proposals, committees, mentoring and even teaching. Why? Because scientists are tired of not being able to do #science. - Students are tired of being unappreciated and overloaded - Faculties are tired of “community duties” that become overwhelming (conferences, committees, reviewing, outreach, etc) And everyone is tired of small salaries, zero empathy and little credit. The problem is greatly summarized by Isabel Müller (in the article): “There’s so little acknowledgement that people have difficult, complicated lives outside of work.” A year ago, Nature described how PhD students don’t want to be postdocs and faculties are leaving academia. Now, we see that those who stayed are trying to resist the system from the inside. But the problem is - the system is too rigid, too traditional and too elitist. So, as a community, we can change it only by raising our voices and expressing distaste with the status quo. I applaud Nature for writing about these issues so regularly. The academic world has too many interdependent parts which should be addressed concurrently. This is why we should stay united and strong as a community. Regarding the academic environment we all hope to have, I loved how Isabel Müller put it in the article: - I hope it becomes the new normal to say: “My life matters. My work is an important part, but I decide what my life looks like, not my employer”. #AcademicTwitter #education

@ctying0705 Don't worry we have PCRs to do, that will add up some hours 😅🤣

Come take our new Molecular and Cell Biology of Symbiosis course at MBL this summer! Applications are due on Feb 10th. Share broadly. mbl.edu/education/adva…
