Seems like a good day to spend in the dunes listening to lichens.

Last week I gave a plenary talk at the NL Polar Day on polar tiny forests consisting of mosses and microbes (+ protists and invertebrates).

Such a warm (and cold-themed) day, catching up with people, and a reality check of Arctic geopolitics.

Strike and demonstration against the budget cuts (half a billion euro) on higher education proposed by the Dutch government. Tomorrow, the Senate will likely vote on favor of this plan. @vuamsterdam.bsky.social @fnv.bsky.social @aob.nl #eppobruins

Couldn't access my laptop today (still not resolved 🤷🏼‍♀️), but instead counted the last three samples of mites and springtails from Antarctic mosses. Crypotpygus loves Sanionia.

Spent two days at the Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting: great talks and plenary speakers (@paulakahumbu.bsky.social, @ymalhi.bsky.social, Michiel Veldhuis and Marielos Peña Claros), met amazing people, nice posters and gave a talk about my Antarctic work on vegetation types and microarthropods.

Organised a lichen walk as part of my 'complex individuality' art-science project with Suzette Bousema. We look at lichens and listened to soil organisms living in and around lichens. What a beautiful day with these aspiring lichenologists.

First time showcasing the results of the lichen science-art crossover with Suzette Bousema @vuamsterdam.bsky.social .

December 1. Antarctica day. That cold continent that symbolizes heated debates. We should reflect on the promises we’ve made to this continent and the inconvenient truths it reveals about how we treat our planet.

"Eppo - the demolition man"

Good to see so many people on the street to protest against the narrow-minded government plans to cut 1 billion euro on higher education and science.

I am trying to not take the plane whenever possible, so yesterday I travelled from Lund to Amsterdam by train. What can I say? The longer the delay, the longer the train office day.

It was a 15h trip, but I made it home!

What does a Peltigera lichen sound like?
Work for a multisensory art-science project on lichens as metaphors for connections in our society.

I am super excited to start working with Suzette Bousema on a science-art project on lichens as metaphors for connections in our societies.

We'll be literally listening to lichens, and much more.

A rainy Monday is better with positive funding (even if small) news. Soon more. #artscience #lichens

So special to work on islands with such high terrestrial biodiversity, surrounded by glaciated mountains in the Antarctic.
