SUMMARY:Sampling Life’s Alphabet Soup: Your Guide to Environmental DNA
  Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Animals\, plants\, and other organisms shed genetic waste in
 to water\, air\, and soils\, leaving behind an alphabet soup of life. Mo
 dern 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 an
 yone 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 Ma
 ine's woods and waters.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Michael Kinnison\, Professor of 
 Evolutionary Applications at the University of Maine.
