Part of our 6-part Interactive Series: Leveraging the Flagship
Join us for an interactive evening at The Maine Center on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at 4 PM with Michael T. Kinnison, Ph.D. Professor of Evolutionary Applications at the Maine Center for Genetics in the Environment
Animals, plants, and other organisms shed genetic waste into water, air, and soils, leaving behind an alphabet soup of life. Modern genetic tools are now unlocking the code of this environmental DNA, or ‘eDNA’, to monitor and study life all around the world. Remarkably, eDNA monitoring is now affordable and accessible enough for almost anyone to participate. This short course will provide a background on the nature of eDNA itself, its broad applications, and the basics of eDNA sampling for community groups and individuals interested in surveying Maine’s woods and waters.
Capacity is limited to 24 participants.
When: Tuesday, May 7, 2024 4:00-6:00 PM
Where: The Maine Center, 300 Fore Street, Portland, ME
Advance registration required.
