Iโ€™m at the #Dundee #LiveHouse (former Mecca Bingo and now an entertainment/conference venue) for the 9th Annual #HuttonInstitute Symposium - Iโ€™ve already been asked โ€œOh, are you back?โ€ twice - Yes, but only as a visitor ๐Ÿคฃ
@millerdl I miss that #HuttonInstitute perk - fresh raspberries for a nominal donation, occasionally funky orange coloured or other new varieties being trialed.

Pleased to see this published (and open access) - Iโ€™ve been contributing to this #ForestResearch / #HuttonInstitute led project for over 5 years (with most of the co-authors even longer):

For anyone interested, I have left The James #HuttonInstitute in Dundee after 16 years including my time at its predecessor SCRI.

As of this Monday, I am working at #StrathclydeUniversity with @widdowquinn

Our second blog post https://www.hutton.ac.uk/blog/edna-in-the-spotlight-the-second-instalment/ profiling #HuttonInstitute scientists and close collaborators working with #EnvironmentalDNA (#eDNA) is now live.

This time featuring Beth Moore, Eulyn Pagaling, David Roberts, and from #ForestResearch, Sarah Green.
