Kiva is an easy way to make a real difference in someone's life. Will you join me in helping Linet in Eldoret, Rift Valley region of Kenya, to pursue their dream? www.kiva.org/invitedby/je...

Deeply concerned about NSF. They fired more people than they needed and now leadership is illegally reclassifying employees as probationary. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

#MicroscopyMonday - Nicotiana root colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Hyphal fusions (anastomoses) are visible on the root surface.

Dual mycorrhizal plants are frequent in Australia 🇦🇺 Our study shows that tea tree symbiosis with AMF and ECM fungi varies across habitats, unlocking new potential for the industry www.doi.org/10.1007/s111... @spun.earth

Well deserved, Jack!

Thrilled to announce the creation of the @elisabethbik.bsky.social Science Integrity Fund to provide "funding for training programs, grants, or awards for science integrity advocates." Thanks to @science.org for covering this. Help us grow the fund with a tax-deductible donation.

That's a beautiful symbiosis. Plants give carbon in exchange from nitrogen from insect cadavers. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/npp2.23
