Invasive Insights
Podcast Description
Invasive insights is a podcast that intends to educate the public about one of the major issues facing our marine ecosystems, invasive species.
I have brought together a variety of knowledgeable experts in the field of invasive ecology to share their experiences and expertise.
I hope that I can help listeners gain a greater understanding of the threat that invasive species pose, and encourage everyone to take actionable steps to reduce the spread of invasive species to positively impact their lives and the lives of others.

In this episode, I interviewed Gregg Schumer, Vice President and Director of Lab Services at Cramer Fish Sciences. Gregg is a senior molecular biologist whose expertise in environmental DNA (eDNA) has been instrumental in advancing research on invasive species. During our conversation, Gregg shared fascinating insights into his work monitoring endangered aquatic species, his innovative projects using metabarcode analysis, and his unique career path from gene therapy and virology to large-scale ecosystem monitoring. I was truly inspired by Gregg’s passion for scientific discovery, his resilience in the face of research challenges, and his vision for more holistic approaches to ecosystem health. I learned so much from his experiences and advice for aspiring scientists!
