- Meet Matt Lemay, Colleen Kellogg, and Sue Velazquez, the team of eDNA experts behind the series.
Hey, teachers! Here’s a cheat sheet of what’s included in this episode of The Nature Files:
• Can you sample eDNA from places other than water?
• How can eDNA be used to affect policy, management, or conservation?
• How costly is it to extract, amplify, and sequence eDNA? Is this becoming more accessible any time soon?
• Is it hard to get trained to collect eDNA samples?
• Can eDNA detect small things like larvae in the water, or viruses?
• What’s the future for eDNA? Where can we take it next?
From invasive crabs to lost whales, tapping into the world of environmental DNA can be the key to solving some of nature’s biggest riddles. Join us as we crack the code on nature and unlock mysteries in our newest series, The Nature Files.
