Coming for Sammy Soil on World Soil Day?! 🥺
Federal agencies have cute 3-letter acronyms, but turns out they also have mascots. National Weather Service (“Owlie Skywarn”). Natural Resources Conservation Service (“Sammy Soil”). Food & Nutrition Services (“Power Panther”). They give away drink koozies, keychains, etc. In 2016, federal agencies spent ~$1.5 *billion* on advertising, public relations campaigns, & public affairs staff. DOGE doesn’t have a mascot, but if we did, it’d be a chainsaw - for cutting costs.

A really nice investigation into the large disparity in how soil bacteria assimilate or respire C from different compounds... lends support to the MEMS framework of simple compounds contributing more to stable organic matter. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…
