May 2024 Newsletter
Dear sed-DNA enthusiasts,
Summer is approaching fast, and so is winter in the Southern Hemisphere. We are very pleased to again highlight that the date of the 'Second sedaDNA Scientific Society Meeting" in Tromsø, Norway will be the 24-25th of June 2025 - so save those dates! Guided tours will also be organized on 26th June 2025.
Besides this, there is little to announce from our side. As usual, papers published and pre-prints in the previous month are listed below.
