@jadaelyse @turo Truly the worst customer service. I am frustrated and trying to rebook a car because original car had safety issues. Turo is a #scam and #unsafe.

[Sandipan Samaddar @samaddars]

@vicioussofly @turo toally agree. Terrible customer service and everytimr I speak they change their stories. Just a #scam

[Sandipan Samaddar @samaddars]

@jkjklollollol2 @turo So true ! In the same boat as yours ! Terrible customer service.

[Sandipan Samaddar @samaddars]

@TuroSupport @turo @bbb_us @FTC Been 3 days since I DMed and still NO resolution. Spent over 3 hours on calls with @TuroSupport and got absolutely NOTHING. This is beyond frustrating. Is this how @turo treats customers? @FTC @bbb_us @CA_AG we need better consumer protection #TuroFail #CustomerServiceNightmare

[Sandipan Samaddar @samaddars]

Rented a car via @turo — it had serious safety issues. Returned it & was promised a replacement. Now they’ve backed out. Over 1hr on call with ZERO resolution. Total scam. @TuroSupport this is unacceptable.

@KalynMTaylor @tsnelsen @SoilLife Congrats Kalyn.

[@AMI_JAMJournal @AMI_JAMJournal]

Editors choice ✨. This #openaccess paper by N. Devaragan, @DSKarp, @Samaddars & team in @AMI_JAMJournal suggests that #organic composts and cover crops enhance beneficial soil bacteria that suppress pathogens.#WorldSoilDay #SaveSoil

Check out our recent paper on how #microbialcommunities differ between #perennial #kernza and #annualwheat at different depths. Great working with you on this project @KalynMTaylor ! #soildepth #soilmicrobiome #soilcarbon

[Kalyn Taylor, PhD @KalynMTaylor]

Check out new OA paper led by @SoilLife, @samaddars, and I 🌾 Main takeaway — depth matters! Annual wheat vs. #Kernza stored carbon at different depths in the soil profile & hosted distinct soil fungal communities primarily in the rhizosphere & topsoil.

It was so much fun to be a part of this offsite and getting to know each other more outside of our lab life #retreat #companyculture #itstime2switch

[Switch Bioworks @SwitchBioworks]

At Switch, we care deeply about building an inclusive company that we love coming in for every day and feel like we belong. At our off-site in Tahoe, we grew together tighter as a #team and practiced our #values in team-designed workshops, presentations and activities. 🍾🎊🌱🦠

@phylogenomics @Taylor_Fritz97 An epic five setter. Fritz would have won against any human but was up against a monster and indomitable fighter.

#sustainable? #SoilHealth Soil health data thin on the ground. Economists, geographers and soil scientists in Malawi found worrying decadal declines in fertilizer efficiency on farmer fields, and declines in ag greenness from remote sensing data https://t.co/jBByKi3ESj Why?
