Community engagement

Our lab is passionate about education and community engagement with the environment. We have a number of eDNA community science projects where the aim of projects are to engage participants with the biology in their local ecosystems that are under various anthropogenic pressures. eDNA is a fantastic way to unveil so much about whats in front of us all – both the seen and unseen. It also teaches people genetic literacy and draws on many of the STEM skills, which we feel is extremely important.
