What in the absolute f*ck Apparently researchers at the University of Zurich conducted an experiment in the /r/changemyview subreddit where they assessed the ability of large language models to change people’s views. This was allegedly done without any informed consent whatsoever.

Just stumbled across this, another solid paper from the Kelly lab! Great to see work like this on making eDNA interpretation more accessible to end-users besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Well this is just a super cool paper, using eDNA to track dispersal dynamics of invasive fish species based on haplotype number: doi.org/10.1002/edn3...

1) Well folks, here’s my (hopefully) big one – the culmination (but not the end!) of an area of research I’ve been pursuing for awhile! We developed a framework to unify the relationships between eDNA, numerical abundance, and biomass: doi.org/10.1002/edn3...

Pretty stoked that I managed to sneak in a Hamlet pun in an upcoming manuscript (working on proofs today) Stay tuned, I'm hoping this one (the manuscript, not the pun) will be an impactful one!

Timely and important paper on guidelines for workflows and reporting of #eDNA #metabarcoding data. Hugely relevant to ongoing discussions within #ukeof #ukdnawg about standards and data mobilisation @lynseyrharper.bsky.social @danread.bsky.social

Had the pleasure of being the handling editor for this paper - was really a tremendous effort and fantastic study, was very excited to see this one submitted to the journal!

Well, giving the whole 'Science Twitter' (now 'Science Bluesky'?) thing a shot. Science twitter used to be so awesome for finding the newest eDNA and ecology/conservation science, so fingers crossed this platform can recreate that!
