Attempt no. 1 at #LibraryPrep protocol didn’t not even remotely work. 🤞 that the next run goes better

Trying to remember where all the good places to hide from undergrads are

Woolloongabba, UQ and Fairfield. #BrisbaneFloods

Culture shocks for a #Queenslander in #Adelaide: 1. Asking for a schooner of beer and being poured a pot 🤨 2. The beaches have surf life savers, with a rescue 🚁 and all, but there is no surf.. 3. AFL

Reading the comments on this is quite the insight into what people think about nitrogen use in agriculture

When you team up with the right Postdoc for your PhD

Hey folks! It's science time! Here's some new* work where we look at differences between conventional soil extractions and microdialysis when sampling inorganic N - finding that disturbance of bound N is the key determining factor. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… *new = from my PhD...

Friendly reminder

Field trips underway at #soilconferenceau learning about horticulture and soils around Darwin.

I’ve had a great week at Soil Science Australia #SoilConferenceAU and finally presented some of my PhD research this morning: Linking N mobilisation and C stability in #SOM fractions. Some exciting results, stay tuned for the paper! w/ Mark Farrell Dio Antille Dr Tim Weaver +more

Field visit to UQ Gatton for GRDC project on #nitrogen losses, planning semi automated #GHG chambers and lysimeter setup… thanks for guiding us!
