I got my first >100k € project funding. 🥳 I'm thrilled, but at the same time I'm a bit scared (bureaucracy, pressure to succeed, ...). How was it for you to spend your first "own" money? Any advice? PhD job advertisement coming soon. ☝️

We need more diverse forests! Among many reasons, such forests are more resistant to drought. Great work led by Lena Sachsenmaier #MyDiv #mycorrhiza #climatechange

‼️Job announcement ‼️ We are looking for a PhD student to join us in investigating how the phytomicrobiome is changing under the influence of global change. More details below. Feel free to share! (Official job advertisement will follow soon). 🍄🌳🦠#PhDchat #PhDlife

This week we identified fungal fruiting bodies from the MyDiv tree diversity experiment, and found an impressive richness. One of our highlights is Dissoderma odoratum growing as a parasite on a Hebeloma fruiting body. Very rare and endangered! Nature is an incredible thing!

Fun achievement today: the unofficial fifth chapter of my PhD thesis is among the top 10% of most-read papers in Wiley Ecology & Evolution in 2023. It's great to know that the things one does are of interest to others! doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9…

All in the name of science, even if it means crawling through the undergrowth! Together with Alex (PhD student 👌) and an amazing team of helpers, we’re currently sampling at the IDENT site in Sardinia. Stay tuned for more updates! 🌲🌲🦠🍄‍🟫🪱🌲🌳
