Meghan Marjorie Shea
Postdoctoral Scholar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
BioMeghan is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, where she studies how to best use environmental DNA (eDNA)—little bits of DNA left behind by organisms in their ecosystems—for marine biodiversity monitoring. Her interdisciplinary approach blends science & technology studies and ocean sciences, drawing on her dual training as a social scientist and engineer. Working from the archives to the laboratory to the field, she advances eDNA tools while interrogating their social context and epistemic implications. Prior to her postdoc, she 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. When she's not thinking about environmental DNA, she loves cooking elaborate vegetarian meals, nurturing her house plants, and finding ways to spend as much time as possible on or near the ocean!
