Thank you to West Haven Farm for hosting our Soil Testing Volunteer training! The rain held off while we learned how to collect soil samples and measure trees as part of our Payment for Ecosystem Services program, supporting local farmers.

New Research: Pancosmorio (world limit) theory of the sustainability of human migration and settlement in space https://t.co/i9vQ6bY9ZF #SpaceSci

[Frontiers @FrontiersIn]

Is human migration into space inevitable? Is it based on facts, or is it based upon a belief in human exceptionalism?

Explore these questions in an article published in @FrontAstroSpace by Lee and Morgan Irons: https://t.co/bjd6AOy27k, or the guest editorial on our news site ⬇

Why did I switch from #premedicine to #soilscience & #astroecology? Do I have tips for #students looking to change #academic or career paths? Check out my interview on the YouTube channel, #IvyClub (@ ivy_club_xyz) to learn more!

Act announcement time!

What if a light beam had a personality? Would it explain its behaviour? Would that somehow have anything to do with the LGBTQ+ spectrum? Richard & @JSXnder say yes! And they have a short story to prove it

@SoilCarbonSci @CornellBiogeo @Cornell I was thinking the same thing yesterday. 🙂

[Kelsey H Jensen, PhD @SoilCarbonSci]

I love seeing all of the @CornellBiogeo alumni on the Zoom for Dr. Schlesinger’s seminar! It’s inspiring to see the 65 years of biogeochemistry at @Cornell embodied in all of the attendees here today.
