How popular claims about common mycorrhizal networks in forests are disconnected from evidence. Thx to M. Jones & J. Hoeksema @jhooooks for their friendship, brilliance, and integrity. I would not have had the courage to tackle this issue without them. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Can’t believe I’m tweeting my dire financial situation - but here I am speaking at our @Bristol_UCU rally. Being a lecturer is an aspirational job, which we work towards for yrs - our pay doest reflect it. It’s not enough to raise a family. And I’m one of the lucky ones…
People ask me why retired old fart like me is so passionate about @ucu strikes Here is why encapsulated in a short video from wonderful young colleague @HanMGriffiths pay cuts & slashing of pensions was always going to hit younger Uni staff the most. @Bristol_UCU#ucuRISING
RT🙏
The brave young warriors from @BristolBioSci fighting for a decent salary, a fair pension and decent working conditions @ucu@Bristol_UCU@BristolUni
(The usual old fart photobombing as usual 😂)
Super happy our Ecology Letters paper now is online! We found soil has memories! Soil can remember the historical plant living history and extreme drought. The coolest thing is these memories can have effects on the aboveground insects!!!👉 doi.org/10.1111/ele.14129
RT IF YOU ARE A STRIKING UNIVERSITY WORKER, POSTIE, TEACHER OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE PICKET LINE TODAY.
ALSO RT IF YOU BACK THEM.
Let’s cut beyond the media and show people they have mass support.

Dear @UKRI_News@UCEA1@USSEmployers@USSpensions@RKJethwa
Please look at the age group of these striking academics from my old dept(same across uni). Many are new to @ucu@Bristol_UCU joined since last strike. All are young, determined & angry. They will NOT back down. 1/4

Does land use intensification make soil food webs less able to recover from climate-driven disturbance? Field experiment shows that intensive grassland management disrupts transfer of plant carbon to soil organisms after drought

The project will help us understand how large mammals impact the structural complexity, microclimate, functioning and above and below ground carbon storage potential of European forests.
