Environmental #DNA or #eDNA is the study of genetic material in the #environment.
How can we apply it to the #deepsea? Revealing the hidden majority, changes through time and community structure, the possibilities seem endless.

I hope I didn't break anything...

Check out the new handle! The Deep-Sea Podcast has its own domain! Website and other exciting things to follow.

On #BlueSky you can now find Thom @thomaslinley.com and the #podcast here at @deepseapod.com

I'm really glad you found it. Don became a regular contributor to the show, about 35 episodes, I think. It's usually 5 minutes near the end. He shared some very candid stories that we don't think appear elsewhere.
We really miss him.
