   abstract: "Her current research investigates the effects of environmental stressors\
     \ on aquatic animals. She has particular expertise in endocrine disruption and\
     \ nitrate-related ecotoxicology. Before joining USGS, Dr. Edwards represented\
     \ the United States as a Fulbright Scholar in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.As\
     \ a group, CERC\u2019s Biochemistry and Physiology Branch conducts diverse biological\
     \ studies to understand how environmental stressors and water quality affect\
     \ the health of fishes, amphibians, and freshwater mussels. Current projects\
     \ investigate hypoxia, contaminants, and nutrient deficiencies. The group is\
     \ especially interested in how stressors change gene expression and physiology\
     \ to induce disease, inflammation, infertility, or other negative health outcomes\
     \ in aquatic wildlife.Additionally, Branch environmental DNA (eDNA) projects\
     \ provide powerful information for resource managers as they address invasive\
     \ and endangered species challenges. With eDNA technology, our scientists can\
     \ detect the presence of a species by taking a water sample. This makes detection,\
     \ monitoring, and management of both endangered and invasive species less expensive\
     \ and more effective.To accomplish our mission, we collaborate broadly with\
     \ other USGS scientists, academic partners, and private companies on mutually\
     \ beneficial research and development needs. The work of our dedicated and experienced\
     \ staff is supported by the world class aquaculture and laboratory facilities\
     \ at CERC. We share and disseminate our findings through scientific publication\
     \ and public outreach, and, working with USGS data release protocols, we are\
     \ making all our data universally accessible to current and future stakeholders."
