About This Trend
Edna refers to both a character from The Incredibles and the abbreviation for environmental DNA, a scientific research tool.
Why is it trending? The name Edna is gaining attention due to its dual significance: as the iconic designer Edna Mode from Pixar's The Incredibles, whose character has seen a resurgence in pop culture discussions, and as environmental DNA (eDNA), a scientific method for monitoring ecosystems that has been highlighted in recent research papers and conservation efforts. The character's popularity is further boosted by merchandise releases, such as a Disney-branded Edna Mode handbag, while eDNA's trend is driven by its innovative applications in fish stock assessments and non-invasive species monitoring.
