So incredibly proud of my friend and colleague @RachelADavis98 (@FranksMicrolab) for participating in #3MT with her talk "I don't care who you are, I care what you are doing". You are amazing! Congrats on your "highly commended speaker" award! đź‘Ź

A PHD is available as part of an ARC Discovery Project looking at soils response to elevated carbon. It is across two great labs (but I’m biased). soilscienceaustralia.org.au/…

Congratulations to Assoc Prof Petrovski and team who describe a novel parasitic bacterium in @NatureMicrobiol today. @PetrovskiLab says this discovery is a promising strategy for biocontrol of bacteria in the future.

Final week onshore applications @FindAPhD @phd_position @UQ_News graduate-school.uq.edu.au/ph…
You can
Year 1: survey soil carbon (theories, models, methods)
Year 2: test hypotheses (e.g. to humic or not to humic)
Year 3: break earth
Bonus: train me to be a better advisor along the way

We know about using keystone animals and plants to rewild ecosystems. But what about the soil critters that help make ecosystems tick? Do they establish on their own or do we need to intervene? New review out @Ecol_Evol @LTUresearchers #SoilHealth

So happy to have secured a #DP21 with Tang’s soil science group. We will investigate the effect of high atmospheric CO2 on carbon and nitrogen cycles in major cropping soils. It’s great to receive this recognition for our work together. @latrobe @LTUresearchers @PAM_latrobe
