So much cool research on microbial predation is coming out lately! For example; Effects of experimentally elevated virus abundance on soil carbon cycling across varying ecosystem types www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Helpful explainer about why university endowments aren’t a substitute for indirect costs ⬇️☀️

Are you a scientist whose work is being affected by changes in the Trump administration? Get in touch with @nature.com reporters @maxkozlov.bsky.social @dangaristo.bsky.social @heidiledford.bsky.social Jeff Tollefson & yours truly. Let us know what's on your mind & what we should be writing about.

Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! 🎉 Shoutout to the excellent women in my team who bring brilliance, dedication, and their perspective to everything we do. Your passion for science inspires us all. So proud to work alongside such talented scientists and staff!

For #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience I want to put the spotlight on the amazing, talented, women in the Plant-Soil Ecology lab. 🧵

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hvorfor er det så svært at forlade Instagram? Groft sagt: Vi hader at være der, men vi bliver, fordi vi allesammen er der. Man orker det næsten ikke. At migrere. At begynde forfra. www.weekendavisen.dk/2025-06/kult...

Frontal assault on universities www.science.org/content/arti...

It's time for a first post on this (for me) new platform, and what's better than some beautiful fieldwork photos. So here is a flashback to one of the most spectacular fieldwork campaigns I ever carried out - sampling soil cores from our fieldsites (called #ForHot) in Iceland in Feb'2022. PART ONE.

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

🚨 all EGU journals have cancelled their Twitter/X feeds 👏👏 But for reasons beyond me have decided not to engage with BlueSky 🤷 - if you’d like a BlueSky presence for your favourite EGU journal - I’d suggest getting in touch with @eurogeosciences.bsky.social (or liking this message?) pls RT 😀👏

Two cool post-doc positions available at Umeå Uni to work on David Wardle's unique long-term experiments on lake islands in N-Sweden! One position focuses on microbial communities, the other on above-belowground linkages. Please, share! 🧬🦠🌲🍂 www.umu.se/en/work-with... www.umu.se/en/work-with...
