After reading about the structure of the organization, I was pleased because I like environmental conservation practices. I remember after my form four before I joined campus I volunteered together with other men to fence a dam that used to satisfy our domestic water usage.

- Zooplankton Prosome and Lipid Sac Segmentation
A machine learning-based solution that can segment the Prosomes and Lipid sacs with sufficient accuracy helps to recognize the ecological plasticity of key Arctic copepods. It allows scientists to learn more about the relationship between the size and volume of two components of planktonic organisms: the prosome (the main body) and the lipid sac (energy reserves accumulated by copepods before winter).

- A practical guide to DNA-based methods for biodiversity assessment
The guide considers four different types of samples (water, sediments, invertebrate collections and diatoms), and two primary analysis types (single species detection via methods such as qPCR and assessment of biological communities via metabarcoding). At each stage of the field and laboratory process the guide sets out the scientific consensus on best practice, as well as the choices that need to be made and the trade-offs they entail. In particular, the guide considers how the choices may be influenced by common practical constraints such as logistics, time and budget.

Tech Tutors Season 4
East Africa
Are you looking for ways to grow your conservation technology knowledge and skills this year? Tech Tutors: East Africa is your opportunity to learn practical skills and steps that will become the building blocks you need to push your conservation tech work and research forward!
Our new season of Tech Tutors begins this week and will run through to the end of May! On the 9th of February 2023 (4-5pm, EAT | 1-2pm GMT), Arthur Muneza will take us through our first tutorial: How do I fit GPS satellite tags to remotely monitor giraffe movements? With lessons from his work with the awarding winning Twiga Tracker Initiative, Arthur will provide the foundational tools and technical know-how of starting off a biologging project.
