Great convo over breakfast - microbes, new mamahood - followed by an awesome talk! So glad for @fungi_lover’s visit to W.K. Kellogg Biological Station!

Searching for childcare options - found a place that asked if their next opening in October 2023 would be helpful. 😳😓😂Academic Mom, PhD

Underground Innovations is now ONLINE Thurs, August 11. There is no fee; registration is required (miagadvance.org). Great speakers and in depth discussions are on the agenda - join us! Tim Boring Melissa Shaw Kellogg Biological Station LTER Artisan Grain Collab #MiAAunderground

Come and join a great community and an awesome lab! Sarah Evans has been a great mentor and creates a very welcoming and inclusive lab! Women In Soil Ecology

Great thread - grassland ecology has taught us a lot about how biodiversity can increase ecosystem functions. But in ag systems we need to think about SPECIFIC species interactions, not only species richness.

Registration now open! Excited for great conversations at our 5th annual Underground Innovations event. miagadvance.org/news Tim Boring Melissa Shaw Kellogg Biological Station LTER The Fred and Barbara Erb Family Foundation Chuck Lippstreu Adam Reimer @TomZimnicki Michigan Environmental Council #SoilHealth #CoverCrops #MichiganAg

Friends of MiAA - we want to know about how you think about and purchase grains! Please consider filling out the @artisangraincollab 2022 Grain Views & Habits Survey. It will only take ~5-7 minutes. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #artisangraincollab #grainsinaction

Applications for our W.K. Kellogg Biological Station summer undergraduate programs are now open! No better place to spend your summer, and no better people to spend it with! If you love the outdoors and think you might want to get a little bit more involved in science then APPLY 😃

Really excited to join the Kellogg Biological Station LTAR! I get to keep working with great people that are playing a huge role in building a more resilient agricultural system!

Visited a local urban farm Sunlight Gardens! Is there anything more inspiring than building soil to feed our communities? Pictured: crop of edible flowers

Excited to be at the #topsoilsummit with Mitchell Hora learning about how #soilhealth and #carbon can benefit farmers. #regenag

Amazing farmer panel sharing their “whys” for their transition to #regenag . “Without a why, this all may dry up after incentives end”. Farmers out there, what is your why? #topsoilsummit Mitchell Hora

The recent Supreme Court decision dramatically narrowed the scope of the Clean Water Act, undoing protections safeguarding the nation’s waters for more than 50 years. Hear from Kellogg Biological Station LTER professor emeritus, Stephen Hamilton, and other MSU scientists here: msutoday.msu.edu/news/2023/msu-…

Looking forward to present Kellogg Biological Station LTAR efforts working with external partners/stakeholders at #ACSmtg. Join for my talk and others focused on the human dimensions of our ag systems! US LTAR Human Dimensions session, Wednesday, 9:30-11am, room 125.

Corn harvest is almost complete on the Kellogg Biological Station LTER!

Kathryn Docherty is hiring two new graduate students to join her lab at Western Michigan University! This is an amazing opportunity to explore how the inclusion of #prairiestrips in agricultural lands can improve #soilhealth & carbon sequestration. Please share widely! …6-49fd-bf59-dde473cb0c2e.filesusr.com/ugd/fb6cdc_46c…

Daily walks around the ⁦Kellogg Biological Station LTAR⁩ canola fields during maternity leave. It’s fun to see the yellow blooms! Thanks ⁦⁦Kellogg Biological Station LTER⁩ for the sun protection!
