What the actual ACTUAL f*$k!!! I knew it was bad, but this bad? It takes women almost 15 years longer than men to become full professor at top UK universities. A small thread for those who don't have access to the article (1/x) timeshighereducation.com/news/women-tak…

Avui, som a #Caldes en la primera jornada d'un Taller de Generació d'Idees amb la X_AgriTech. 🤩 Dos dies plens d'innovació on la gran protagonista serà la lluita per la reducció de la petjada de carboni de les explotacions agràries. ♻️

Hey ecologists out there - no one with experiences of the new biodegradable tea bags? Do they work for decomposition experiments?

Do you want to run a microbial GWAS but are put off by installing a dozen different bioinformatic tools, are unsure about best practices, and how to transform the list of threshold passing variants into a neat annotated table? Then we have just the thing for you!

Disappointed by our European colleagues who removed us from a consortium for a joint grant application because of "boycott threats" against institutions that support applications with Israeli institutions. This is not the right course of action and bad for science We will

Great talk by P Vandenkoornhuyse on the importance of plant-associated microbiomes for plant fitness across different habitats. #micrope2024

This was it! The 4th #EUCARPIA workshop on microbiome-assisted plant breeding came to an end. Thanks everyone for the fruitful discussions! We've come a long way and really build up momentum towards bringing microbiome insights into practice. #miCROPe2024

Only 6 more days to apply to this PhD position in my group. 👇 Please RT

Not sure what I was trying to explain there. How to knead german bread maybe. Anyway, I've had great discussions with colleagues at #micrope2024.

Soil health is associated with higher primary productivity across Europe "...we found that primary productivity in croplands and grasslands was positively related to nitrogen-fixing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi..." nature.com/articles/s4155…

We are looking for a PhD candidate (f/m/d) within the project “Towards sustainable, non-invasive insect diversity assessment – tracking plant-insect interactions with high throughput sequencing of environmental DNA”. Get in touch if you are interested!

Today I had the pleasure to present COUSIN project to our sister project PRO-WILD coordinated by INRAE and funded by Horizon Europe🇪🇺. There are great synergies between the projects to be explored in joint activities.
