Wow, US govt. agencies not even pretending at apolitical status anymore

Our Fast and Phageous team this morning at the start of the Tübingen #ErbeLauf

Today wraps up our week at #DBG2025!

Awesome weekend in the Black Forest looking at soil profiles with the legendary Karl Stahr. Tomorrow: #DBG2025

Late summer Tuesdays - perfect for hiking and bbq with colleagues our colleagues in @michaeladippold.bsky.social group

Resulting in a ridiculously cute gift from my group members ☺️

Got married!!!

Starting my day at the great debate on publication practices at #EGU25, with a live audience survey showing many agreeing with impact factors as good indicators of scientific quality. Disappointing more than 10 years after DORA (panellist @sciencesigrid.bsky.social giving opening comments)

Have coffee, and ready to #Train2EGU - Hope to see you there! Join us on Wednesday afternoon to hear the latest research on "Growth, death, and biogeochemical cycles" in #soil (SSS4.10), with @manzonilab.bsky.social opening the session

Please do NOT trust ChatGPT for doing calculations!!! Following a discussion yesterday, I decided to test it again with a simple laboratory conversion: "Using a Beckman VTi65.2 rotor, what rcf would I get at a speed of 45000 rpm?" #ChatGPT #Science

Shiny new addition to our lab arrived yesterday! They say it's the little things ... but this beauty is huge 😆

Probably the best primordial soup in town

This week I had the honor of being on the committee for our university's first official PhD in Soil Science. Congratulations Juanjuan!
