In collaboration with government, ANI, @ncfnigeria & @WCS_Nigeria collected elephant dung samples for DNA analysis by University of Wisconsin. They are developing an international database of elephant DNA so that any ivory seized can be traced to a specific elephant population. – at Victoria Island, Nigeria

🙌🏽🙌🏽 Congratulations! Kenneth, senior from @UW_ECE. We are lucky to have you as our leading electrical engineer on our Tuna team #IUUfishing - a project funded by the @UWCEFS seed grant and @ITHS_UW Catalyst Early career grant in collab with @UWNanoES and @uw_ece.
UW ECE undergraduate senior Kenneth Ruslim is the recipient of a Mary Gates Research Scholarship. Ruslim’s research involves a device that detects various species of tuna to combat #IUUfishing. Congrats, Kenneth!

@UWCEFS funded by @USAID played a critical role in providing DNA analysis for one of the largest Kenyan ivory seizures, which happened in Thailand. I feel fortunate to be able to serve as the bridge between Thailand, Kenya, and @UW. #boundless #Collaboration

Pangolins are the most trafficked mammals in the world. They are hunted and mercilessly killed for their scales.

Great talk this morning by Lorenz Hauser @lhauser1 for @UWCEFS on how to genetically identify the origin of Pacific cod! It turns out the ZP3 gene, that encodes a zona pellucida protein is highly variable in Pacific cod populations and they can identify with a hybridization test! – at Seattle, WA
