Introducing.... The Soil Ecology Seminar Series 2026! Join us on Wednesday the 25th of February at 1 pm GMT for the first installment. We will delve into microbial ecology with exciting talks from Dr Ashish Malik and Josh Thurston: Register your interest here: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

New preprint with @luehea.bsky.social 🍄🌾 AMF prime barley immune genes against brown rust …but immunity ≠ resistance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #AMF #PlantImmunity #Barley #Preprint #PlantSoilMicrobe

We are now on LinkedIn! Follow us for all things new and exciting in soil ecology including research papers, job postings, and information of upcoming conferences and seminars. www.linkedin.com/showcase/bri...

Meet the soil ecology SIG steering committee for 2026! @nataliejoram.bsky.social (Co-Chair) - My research focuses on how grassland plant and soil communities withstand extreme weather events (such as drought), how they recover afterwards, and the role management plays in these responses.

🌾 PhD opportunity! Explore how mycorrhizal fungi shape crop resilience to fungal pathogens. A fantastic project for anyone excited about plant-microbe interactions with @luehea.bsky.social 🔗 www.findaphd.com/phds/project... #PhD #PlantScience #MicrobialEcology #SustainableAg

Love soil? Great with communications? Join us as a communications representative - apply by 17 Nov!

We are happy to introduce the Soil Ecology SIG @britishecologicalsociety.org! Our aim is to connect soil ecology researchers across career stages, facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration. Check out www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/plan... and feel free to get in touch!

Beautiful day for soil sampling in Roamers Wood. #SoilMicrobialEcology #SoilScience #SoilOrganicCarbon #CarbonStorage #Ecology

Huge thanks to our amazing host partner, Edinburgh Climate Change Institute, and our brilliant panelists, Prof Clare Taylor @edinburghnapier.bsky.social, @clairemb.bsky.social, Dr Barbora Skarabela, Angeli Mehta PhD, Rhona Crawford @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social and Dr Louise Scott!

www.linkedin.com/posts/univer... I'm excited to get started on my very first project as a PI!

CeMESS is hiring! Join us at the Division of Terrestrial Ecosystem Research (@ter-cemess.bsky.social) as Full Professor of SOIL ECOSYSTEMS AND GLOBAL CHANGE. Collaborate across a leading institution in microbiome science and environmental research. 🔗 Learn more: cemess.univie.ac.at/news/detail-...

Spent last week at the microscope 🔬✨, and seeing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi up close for the first time—hyphae, arbuscules, vesicles—was absolutely mind-blowing. Small but mighty partners of plant roots 🌿. Sharing a few of my favourite shots. #Mycorrhiza #fungi

Just published my first ever article for Reforesting Scotland on Roamers Wood community woodland!! 🌳 roamerswood.org.uk/img/roamers_... #SoilScience #TreePlanting #ReforestingScotland

It's lovely seeing #RoamersWood community woodland in the different seasons. I wonder what changes we'll see in the soil microbes 🦠🍄🌳 roamerswood.org.uk

🧬🦠 Exciting new resource for #protists lovers! The eKOI database to expand the power of COI metabarcoding with a focus on #protistsonsky & integrated in @pr2-database.bsky.social Lead by Rubén with @beaplab.bsky.social @fonamental.bsky.social @daniel-vaulot.bsky.social Link: t.co/3lqzRaFw9V

Spatial separation of AM fungi allows fungal strains to complement one another without conflict. A 'white album effect'. A great explainer and article! Check out the plain language summary below (paper itself at doi.org/10.1111/1365...)

Had a wonderful time at #BES2024 with @luehea.bsky.social 🍄🚜🦠🌾 but I now need to catch up on a lot of sleep 😴

Thank you to everyone who attended my talk yesterday at #BES2024 on temporal dynamics of AMF communities. Please get in touch if you have any ideas or questions! #AMF #SoilMicrobialEcology

Another shameless plug for my talk at #BES2024 tomorrow at 16:45. See some cool data vis of AMF temporal dynamics

A sad start to #BES2024 travel plans

It's brilliant to be part of the #RoamersWood project! I'm very excited to understand how soil microbes respond to afforestation #WorldSoilDay2024

I’m also looking for a PhD student to investigate crop-mycorrhizal interactions, more info about the project and application process here: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

It’s only 2 weeks until #BES2024 ! Looking forward to Liverpool, launching a new network with @anaspene.bsky.social and Rob Brooker (not here… yet…), helping out at the ECR CV drop in, and @clairemb.bsky.social giving her talk! It’s not just a meeting, it’s a @britishecolsoc.bsky.social meeting 🎉🌍

Come and hear about the temporal dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and their response to regenerative agricultural practices in 2 weeks time at #BES2024 with @luehea.bsky.social 🍄🚜🌾

RP PLS! Iʻm hiring 3 postdocs at U Hawaiʻi to study yeast diversity and evolution, marine fungi, and the genomics of microbiomes in experimental foodwebs. All of these projects have existing datasets and LATITUDE to pursue individual interests and "blue sky" ideas www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/5d7u4...

A post for International Women's Day "Being embarrassed about periods, taboos for women talking about them, men not wanting to know, has all stopped us researching & treating it. It's wasting women's potential. Too little has changed in 50 YEARS. This has to stop" open.substack.com/pub/christin...

A beautiful morning for soil sampling at Roamers Wood to understand microbial changes associated with planting native trees 🦠🍄🌳

We have an exciting opportunity for a regenerative agriculture PhD - come and join us! 🌾🌏 www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Hello Blue-sky! I'm a newbie but would like to share that I'm giving a talk at #BES23 in Belfast and I'm very excited 🎉🚜🍄🦠🌾 @luehea.bsky.social

Very excited to be setting up new experiments with @luehea.bsky.social to investigate the effects of #AMF inoculums on crop growth 🌾🌱(& other exciting things 😀) #PlantMicrobeInteractions #RegenerativeAgriculture #ArbuscularMycorrhizalFungi
