No matter how long I’m in academia: -the rejections still sting -giving a talk still makes me nervous -getting everything done still feels overwhelming The challenges don’t go away with time, but over time I can keep getting better at managing them.

🥳👏

Welcome to Universität Bern @uniofbern, Michael Raissig @michaelraissig.bsky.social and Heike Lindner! We are very much looking forward to having you and your research group with us! 🍃🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️

December.

Super happy to tell that our project: 'The invisible allies: How soil microbes can help tackling climate change was' funded. We (me and Gabriel Moinet from Soil Biology Group - WUR) will be hiring 2 PhD students later this year. Looking forward to investigate soil microbes (🍄) and soil C!

It's time to reintroduce myself - Hi! I’m Ana, I used to do research on #Insects #SoilHealth #Ecology #Microbe #PlantSci. Now, I help scientists to focus and write papers more mindfully! Have a look ifocusandwrite.com and help me share it! Wageningen U&R NL Inst of Ecology Universidad de Alicante UA

it was a pleasure to present exudate microbiome 🦠 interactions on maize roots 🌽miCROPe #miCROPe2022

I needed a couple of days to realize what happened... Last Saturday we won the World Championship of Indiaca with the Swiss women's team😍🥳🥇 For sure union has been our biggest strength😊 Thank you sport for always offering me all these emotions and moments!

Drought stress and mycorrhiza can affect the performance of wheat plants of different cultivars in different directions - learn more about it in our recent publication in Plants: mdpi.com/2223-7747/11/1…

True story.

Plants that are exposed to light cues from neighbors respond more strongly to stress volatiles- and then release more volatiles themselves. A booster for plant-plant interactions! Cool discovery by @RocioEscobarBr1 et al., funded by the Velux Stiftung. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Last year we buried over 2000 pieces of underwear and 12000 teabags with 1000 volunteers to estimate soil health. This Wednesday first results will be presented. We found thousands of microbial taxa and results point to the importance of land use and soil carbon. S. Franz Bender

Studying how #insect #herbivores resist #plant specialized #metabolites? 🪲🐛🌱 With our new review, we hope to inspire researchers from the #ChemicalEcology field investigating detox and sequestration mechanisms in insects!

Congratulations! After 4 years, all Universität Bern OH PhDs have successfully completed. Good luck to all incl. @valentingfeller FiBL, Mohana Mukherjee who will join the Nayak Lab, UCSF, Matheus Notter Universität Bern spin-off #Enzoxa Veronica Caggìa & Lisa Thoenen as PDs with @KSchlaeppi unitill

😍

This is a really cool conceptual paper on "Using root economics traits to predict biotic plant soil-feedbacks" by Gemma Rutten and Allan Ecology Group! A must read for everyone interested in soil-feedbacks and traits 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Soil (microbial) disturbance affect the zinc isotope biogeochemistry but has little effect on plant zinc uptake...🙂🌱authors.elsevier.com/c/1gjjsB8ccyT-t
