It was a joy to be at #NoWPaS again last week! The meeting, which took place in Halifax, #NovaScotia, is still as vibrant and stimulating as the first I attended in 2018. I presented our work using #eDNA to monitor #AtlanticSalmon in #rivers, and was selected as best talk in the #conservation session!

Salmon populations are in a worrying state but it was bolstering to meet fellow researchers working on the problem. Thanks @TheFSBI and Genetics Society for sponsoring my travel! #NoWPaS2025

Was great to hear from @Phoebe_Kaiser_Wilks, based at the Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment, last week at the #NoWPaS2025 meeting. She outlined her plans for her PhD, which will be looking at the worrying #AtlanticSalmon trends between 1970 to 2020s. This includes understanding drivers such as water temperature, connectivity and anthropogenic activity! Really cool stuff. Bonus points for the themed jumper! 🐟 #FishSci #Salmon #ClinateChange #BarriersToMigration #LongTermData
