Fieldwork joys - sampling mycorrhizal fungi within the species-rich steppe prairies of Vitosha mountains #bulgaria. Thanks @salzap.bsky.social for always bringing to me to such beautiful places. And right on time for the Stipa grass bloom 💚

The joys of May #Bulgaria

Lovely 3 days with high-school kids and their biology teacher learning about the biodiverse but fragile Burgaski lakes #wetlands in #Bulgaria. We collected #biodiversitydata, we sampled #eDNA, and we enjoyed sharing sense of wonder for nature together.

And shared lovely moments of drawing on the floor 🎨
