Exploring the underground life is like discovering a hidden world. But how do we showcase its beauty? 🌱🍄🪱 Visualization is a key challenge. Check out these drawings from an event at Inside Outside ⬇️ Can you spot the tiny springtails? #undergroundlife

"AI text generators, such as #ChatGPT, cannot be authors." Nice to see @SETAC_world taking a proactive approach on AI (globe.setac.org/ai-and-setac-j…)

Excited to present my poster at #SETAC2023 today! Love this conference and always learn so much. Come by poster 61!

Always great to catch up with Fellow PRORISKers in person! Keep an eye out for the work of our ESRs at #SETACDublin 🇮🇪 @SETAC_world

These drawings are so good 😃

MICROBES ARE NOT A BLACK BOX THEY ARE SOCIAL ACTORS UNDER SELECTION! NOT JUST A PARAMETER TO TUNE!

Scientists often sabotage their writing by trying to 'sound smart'. This happens in grants & papers Stuart West & @QueensOxBiology published a book urging scientists to tell the story of their science as simply as possible. 4 reasons why jargon-free science is the future:

The desert regions of Kazakhstan could seem odd to sample. Samples here may provide rare “True Zeros” in our models of biogeography. — absence of mycorrhizal fungi. These data are key for machine learning models that often preform poorly at the extremes of datasets.

I did it! My first manuscript of my phd was accepted! 🎉🎉🎉

Work in progress 🌈

Leven vanuit de bodem — Yesterday I joined a group of scientists, artists, and landscape architects to explore adding a “soil-first” approach to urban development. We have been working on untangling the food web — speared by InsideOutside studios’s Stimuleringfonds project.

The results of the research-by-design project with Inside Outside can now be seen at Arcam. This beautiful project sheds light on soil life (take a closer look to find my springtails).

Leven uit de bodem, eerste fase afgerond. Dit project is gestart door Inside Outside Studios om bodemleven zichtbaar te maken. Met steun van het Stimuleringsfonds. Met dank aan Naufsika en Jana voor de uitnodiging om samen een tentoonstelling over bodemleven in steden te maken!

🚨Publication Alert🚨 Exciting article from Saúl Fernandes and Diana Ilyaskina @VU "Effects of Life Stage on the Sensitivity of Folsomia candida to Four Pesticides" #MSCA Read here: setac.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

“Here: at the beginning, and at the end” Join me in Amsterdam on Nov 16th to explore plant-microbe symbiosis with Eos Brüggen in their newest installation. factor-ij.amsterdam

Today we asked what does ecological succession look like in urban greenspace. The goal is to make a soil-first framework for landscape architecture and urban planning. Thanks to InsideOutside studios for the invitation.
