Check out how NGS drives global ocean monitoring and climate change research in New Zealand!
💦Citizens of the Sea's (CoTS) first sailing rally in New Zealand kicked off earlier this year. Hundreds of water samples were successfully collected and are currently being analysed, by isolating the eDNA that animals and plants leave behind. ⛵️ 🧬 The plan is to survey the world’s oceans at scale and create the largest biophysical dataset ever assembled in the South-West Pacific region, to monitor how species distribution shifts in space and time due to climate change. And how we can support survival. All this work is only possible by building next-generation sequencing (NGS) capacity in more remote parts of the world, like New Zealand. Sequench Laboratory’s Co-Founder and Research Lead, Anastasija Zaiko opened her Nelson, New Zealand laboratory in 2021 and now offers sequencing at scale! To learn more please watch the video below 👇 Congratulations for the great work so far Xavier Pochon, Eric Swale and the team at Cawthron Institute Illumina New Zealand Geographic Evgeny Glazov

Partnering with clients to deliver supply chain transformations across operating strategies, process, organizational design and enabling technologies
#Sustainability really starts at #productdesign and #engineering. This is a great testament to operationalizing the linkage between product development - sustainability - profitability to unlock more #circular and #regenerative supply chains. Excited to learn more from you Amanda Davies, Will Beery and the broader Mars team in Chicago over the coming months! #CircularSupplyChain #Sustainable&Profitable
In case you're curious about how the chocolatey innovations of tomorrow are dreamed up and created by our Mars scientists, join us for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our new Global Research & Development Hub at our Chicago headquarters! #ProudlyMars #FutureofSnacking

Recent research reveals intriguing parallels between chimpanzee and human conversations. Scientists are exploring how the way we communicate, particularly our turn-taking habits, might have evolved, providing insights into the social interactions of both species. This study enhances our understanding of communication and highlights our bond with the animal world. Discover more in the complete article at https://lnkd.in/eQUb8FBr.

Great tool for unknown identifications! Also, easily switched between EI and CI modes. However, be aware difference can be noted in EI spectra from the orbitrap compared to spectra found in the NIST and Wiley commercial libraries. https://lnkd.in/e5qdxjNw
I recently discussed exposomics research with Douglas Walker at Emory University where his team are overcoming analytical challenges in this growing research field with Orbitrap Exploris GC. Spend a couple of minutes learning all about it - watch the video below! #environmental #gcms #analyticalchemistry #exposomics
