Excited to share a new editorial - Allyship is Action - written by myself, @KylePoetry , and @CollingeS. Now is the time to translate good intent into concrete actions to improve academic support for minoritized scientists! #DEI #QueerinSTEM doi.org/10.1002/fee.26…

This #PrideMonth, it is important to recognize non-binary and gender nonconforming people have been here from the beginning of the U.S. Here is a thread on one of the most influential such persons in early America. An abolitionist minister known as The Public Universal Friend. 1/

“Indigenous people are able to see signs and impacts of climate change much earlier than Western science because we are on the land all seasons of the year” shar.es/afSBFr

Who are your favorite women in STEM accounts that you follow? Comment below do that we can all follow!

My mother used to quote this to me when I was a teen and it has stuck with me all these years. Also by now Maya Angelou is one of my favs! ♥️

Y'all. I knew arbuscular #mycorrhizalfungi were weird when I decided to study them. But the more I read, the weirder they get!! Even Gene Roddenberry (#StarTrek) could not have made up organisms like these #fungi that are everywhere on our own planet! #soil #mycology is #wild~

Very cool opportunity for women #soil ecologists based in the US thestoryexchange.org/women-in-scien… Women In Soil Ecology #WomenInSTEM #Soil4Climate #SoilHealth #womenscientists

Very cool illustrative introduction! I hope this style of #scicomm becomes more common! 😍

Overdue, but I want to use #Mastodon. The trouble is I don't know which server I should use! I am a #soil #ecologist - interested in connecting with others about #ecology #equity #DEI #globalchange #ClimateCrisis... Would love recommendations 🙏 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9

Tune in to BBC Radio Scotland at 12:55 today to hear @arthurbroadbent talk about his Natural Environment Research Council fellowship research on the impacts of #climatechange and #nitrogen pollution on #soil! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li…

Registration for the British Mycological Society annual meeting is still open until 25 August! Check out the great speaker lineup including our own Prof David Johnson: britmycolsoc.org.uk/resources/even… #mycology #fungi #symbio #soil

📢PAPER ALERT📢Our paper on the shifts of soil microbial states after intense drought is out!! It was a lot of effort and I am super happy to see it finally out at The ISME Journal: nature.com/articles/s4139… Thanks everyone Soil Ecology Lab UoM Ainara Leizeaga Lettice Hicks Rousk Lab 🦠🍄🔬👩‍🔬

How do you recognise the children of a soil ecologist? They include roots and soil organisms in their tree drawings 😍

Check out what one of our PhD students Kaydee Barker (she/ella) is up to! Measuring 13C efflux from pots that had labelled plants on. Picarro eosense Soil Ecology Lab UoM #automated #soilefflux #Carbonturnover #womeninSTEM

Great team out in the field digging up some #plants & #soil to study the effects of meadow #restoration on soil #carbon! ~with Prof David Johnson @JPRitson Dael Sassoon Soil Ecology Lab UoM #SoilHealth #soilscience #ecology #WomenInSTEM Women In Soil Ecology

How does land management impact #microbial communities & their role in #ecosystem functions under #drought? Check out our findings in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146… Led by @JM_Lavallee, w/ Mathilde Chomel ManuDelgadoBaquerizo @Tancredi_Caruso Prof. Franciska de Vries 🦠🍄🪱🌱🍂🌍 Prof David Johnson & more! #soil

How does defoliation impact #belowground communities and their ability to improve #plant resilience to #drought? New paper led by Tianyang Xu reveals that defoliation can suppress beneficial mycorrhizal fungi-plant interactions under drought! Read it here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I had fun nerding out with @arthurbroadbent to make this episode! Check it out to learn about how #climatechange is affecting plants & soil in the Alps. Also super grateful to Arthur for sharing how #tippingpoints can also be a force for good & a reason for hope! #Livablefuture

Africa has invented nothing...not even writing? A short thread for these ignorant white supremacists who equate invention with capitalistic idea of commerce, and don't read history from elsewhere 0/16
