Side quest # TooMany of this PhD: I co-authored an article for @issuesinst.bsky.social on the need for better soil data to monitor topsoil loss, plus farmland price valuation that reflects the true quality of soil to incentivize topsoil preservation. Feedback most welcome!

For Better Soil, Get Better Data
Relying on outdated soil quality data to value farmland creates a disincentive for farmers to invest in conserving topsoil.

Excited to share that the Zhu Lab will officially open at Texas A&M University on August 1st, 2025!
We’re a multidisciplinary group, exploring how plant roots adapt their growth to environmental stresses across scales. Actively recruiting!
