This workshop will offer participants hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge on how to effectively incorporate eDNA into their lake management strategy, including:
Target Audience:
This workshop is designed for lake management professionals, ecologists, environmental consultants, and policy makers seeking to enhance their monitoring and management strategies through the innovative use of eDNA technology. Participants will leave with the tools and knowledge to apply eDNA techniques, ensuring sustainable management of lake ecosystems and promoting holistic ecological health.
Presenters Rachel Meyer is the director of the CALeDNA, a community science program and eDNA lab and an adjunct assistant professor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California Santa Cruz where she teaches molecular ecology and leads research projects on population genomics, paleogenomics, and ethnobotany. She also runs training in bioethics and science policy around digital sequence data and broadening genomics capacity in developing countries. Most recently, she also took on the role of Chief Science Officer at eDNA Explorer. Julie Stanford is the CEO of eDNA Explorer, a platform for researchers and land managers to process, analyze and collaborate on eDNA data. She is also a human computer interaction lecturer at the Stanford Computer Science department and Stanford d.school where she teaches students and industry practitioners how to design technology for greater impact and ease of use.
