Today, I had a lot of fun at my daugther's elementary school, where I talked about the importance of healthy soils and the beauty of soil organisms (which is easy if one has the fantastic photos of @frankashwood.bsky.social). Next generation of soil scientists is secured I hope 👨🔬👩🔬

One of my favorite parts of the conference 😋. Looking forward to being in Tübingen in 2 days and seeing all my soil science friends (and tasting some yummy 🍰 with them)
To all #DBG2025 participants: We'll again offer our famous "Soil Profile Cake Contest (SPCC):
All conference participants are warmly invited to bake a soil profile cake. Cakes will briefly be presented by their bakers in a “profile description, evaluated by a jury for pedology & tast, and awarded.

Hey @elsevierconnect.bsky.social,

One of the cool things about Hanover is that within only a few km distance, one can find one of the worst soils of 🇩🇪 (podzol: 21/100 points) and one of the best soils (chernozem: 96/100). Of course, both are equally beautiful 😍, irrespective of how fertile they are
