A collection of prototypes for collecting eDNA floats in a tub.

Fishery researchers, engineering students work to build better eDNA collectors

Last month, Jessica Glass and two students departed for the Kenai Peninsula toting a tub full of items that looked like plastic children's toys. Their plan for the six-day trip: Dunk them in Kasitsna Bay and see what happens. It may sound like a quirky week at the beach, but Glass, an assistant professor at 性欲社's College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, hopes their project will lead to a breakthrough in environmental DNA sampling.

Glaciers made of rock, ice and bear scat

The grizzly hadn't seen my dog or me, so I yelled and waved my arms. The bear stood, looked in our direction for three unforgettable seconds, then trotted up the valley.
