โ๏ธUK undergrads!
Join the Biodiversity Futures lab @NHM_London for a โจ paid โจ 8-week placement funded by @GW4plusDTP.
Study how ๐ณ influence soil decomposition processes and develop your fieldwork, lab, and stats skills.
Deadline 14th May. Info: https://t.co/4huheDGMy1
Be careful what jokes you make around your kids, or you will end up on a conference slide!
Thanks to @NHM_Students for the chance to showcase my DIY dad's contribution to science AND chat about how alley-cropping could help to tackle soil degradation on UK farms๐ณ๐พ

Come grab a pint and listen to my talk about satellites, great lakes, water resource monitoring and flamingos! ๐ฆฉ๐ฐ๏ธ๐ง 14th May at The Devereux!
Applications are NOW OPEN!
The Undergraduate Bursary Scheme provides students from underrepresented backgrounds with 5-6 weeks of hands-on work experience in a museum.
Projects cover natural sciences research, museum collections management, and public engagement with science.
960 litter bags weighed, sealed, and ready for the field! ๐ฟ
Undergraduate or master's students in London, Cambridge, Nottingham, or Suffolk looking to gain some valuable fieldwork experience, I could use some help burying these.
Contact [email protected] for more info ๐ณ
Just migrated south from @JamesHuttonInst, where I was lucky enough to set up a soil nitrogen tracer experiment with Maddy Giles and Sandra Caul.
Can't wait to find out what secrets are hidden in my four tiny well plates - do agroforestry ๐ณ influence soil nitrogen cycling?

A cool find from one of my tullgren funnel extracts - a #Diptera not quite fully emerged from its pupal shell ๐ชฐ
The choice to record specimens like this as either adults or larvae can influence metrics of biological #SoilHealth, so it prompts an interesting discussion!
Less than one month to go until the @NHM_London Student Conference.
Key dates for NHM students below - check your email for the link to share your research!

Check out our policy brief on Earth Observation (EO) and Great Lake management.
EO ๐ฐ๏ธ is a powerful tool for studying water resources. My PhD utilises EO data to explore decadal-scale changes across 100s of East African lakes! @London_NERC_DTP@kclgeography@NHM_Students
My favourite thing about hand sorting #soil samples is watching the behaviour of these incredible little #fauna.
If anyone can provide an #ID from these photos, I'd love to know what #worm ๐ชฑ and #millipede I had the pleasure of meeting.
The sun came out to greet us for our first week of #fieldwork in 2023 ๐
Thanks @AidanByrneSci for being a fab field assistant and getting excited about #soil with me.
@CDahlsjo I had a blast learning about your decomposition experiment in Wytham ๐ณ. Thanks for having me!
If you're at #GSB23 and interested in how alley-cropping influences soil biological quality on arable farmland, stop by poster 76 this afternoon for a chat ๐ณ๐พ๐
Or if you're app savvy, connect with me on the conference app for more info.
What a fantastic couple of days learning how to install soil respiration collars with @RewildingJed.
Can't wait to get back out to @RealFarmED to see how the measurements are taken.
Anyone interested in learning about Regenerative Farming, I would highly recommend a visit ๐พ๐
