Check out our #eDNA collaboration with @PICRCPalau, @Dionne_Group, and @hallehbalch highlighted @stanforddoerr.
An optical sensor smaller than a postage stamp could help coastal communities monitor some of the world's largest marine protected areas. Discover how collaborators @oceansolutions @PICRCPalau @Dionne_Group are bringing new possibilities to light 🌊✨➑️ bit.ly/eDNAsensor

While @EVNautilus is in the Palau National Marine Sanctuary (PNMS) why not bring it LIVE to your classroom, science center, museum, or community event. Lebuu's Voyage I will commence October 29! Head to nautiluslive.org/education to schedule your Ship-to-Shore interaction.

Get ready - the US Aquatic eDNA wave is coming! 🧬🌊 This strategy is huge step forward. Now the works begins implementing and making the strategy a reality for all of US waters. We’ll need all hands on deck - from the Western Pacific to the Caribbean. #USAquaticeDNA
I am excited to announce the National Aquatic eDNA Strategy. This strategy will accelerate the progress of fast, low-cost, and effective technologies for studying life in the ocean and how it’s changing. 🌊🧬 whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upd…
