Neem een handvol vochtige grond en adem eens diep in. Ruik je ze, de Streptomyces? Super-warriors, antibiotica-fabriekjes, kannibalen... het is maar een selectie uit de namen die onze gast Dr. Michiel Vandecasteele (@GoormachtigLab) gebruikt om deze wezentjes te beschrijven!
#iMMM2023 brought a whole community of molecular mycorrhiza enthusiasts together. It was great to host you all @slcuplants - safe travels and see you all at #iMMM2025 in Munich
#iMMM2023 Toon Leroy present his work on improving the industrial and agricultural potential of arbuscular mycorrhiza through the modulation of the carbon status in tomato
Had an amazing time at the 11th World Soybean Research Conference in #Vienna, the birthplace of the European #soybean 🌱.
Both Prof. Sofie Goormachtig and our postdoc Sylwia Struk had the honours of presenting their fascinating work there. Go team!! 👩🔬

💃It takes three to tango: citizen, fundamental and applied science #CitSciMonth#CitSciTC
> 1000 citizens contributed to the #VIBGrandChallenges Soy project. Read the scientists' insights and conclusions in this recent article https://t.co/MsV57TTn79💡
Main conclusions here
1) Citizen science is an undervalued tool in a scientist's toolbox with the potential to strengthen fundamental & applied science💪
2) Integrating these three disciplines can make agriculture more sustainable and adaptive to climate change
💬interactive moments with citizen scientists shed light on their needs & questions
👥Citizens care for regular updates & motivators
👩🌾Farmers' main concerns regarding soy breeding are yield stability and market security
This is valuable input for the further project course
Citizen science in the #VIBGrandChallenges Soy project 👥 #CitSciMonth#CitSciTC
👩🌾>1000 citizens & farmers planted soy in their gardens and collected data over 6 months
🔎we investigated the gardens' soil and soy to find local bacterial partners that facilitate soy growth
