About Meghan Shea
I am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where I study how to best use environmental DNA (eDNA)—little bits of DNA left behind by organisms in their ecosystems—for marine biodiversity monitoring. My interdisciplinary approach blends science & technology studies and ocean sciences, drawing on my dual training as a social scientist and engineer. Working from the archives to the laboratory to the field, I advance eDNA tools while interrogating their social context and epistemic implications. Prior to my postdoc, I received a PhD in the Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment & Resources at Stanford, an MPhil in Nature, Society and Environmental Governance from Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, and a BS in Environmental Systems Engineering from Stanford.
