Exciting update! We have completed the sampling of 240 arable fields in the Benelux after three months of hard work. 🚜A big shoutout to everyone who lent a hand 👊- team effort all the way! #micos#microplasticresearch#erc@ugent
Microplastic research in the Netherlands. Heavy soil, heavy sampling days. We couldn't do this without all the helping hands. Thanks dad! @CarolineTender@ugent@MiCoS_UGent
Interesse in microplastic onderzoek in akkergronden? Deelnemen als landbouwer? Ga naar https://t.co/gDfZ2yeasd of lees volgend artikel: Een gezonde bodem, een gezonde plant, … met een vleugje plastiek? https://t.co/Umav3dBxiY
Healthy soil, healthy plant, with a hint of plastic? Not on our watch! With MiCoS we are going to investigate what the extent is of microplastics in Benelux fields. Calling all farmers, ready to join our research? Register on https://t.co/gDfZ2yeasd
Together with farmers, we are uncovering the hidden impact of (micro)plastic in our soils with the MiCoS project. Want to know more or want to join our research as a farmer? https://t.co/ske4IUnMOx
We kwamen voor een grond staalname en keerden terug met plastiek. De realiteit waar onze landbouwers mee te maken hebben. Tijd om hen te helpen met het @MiCoS_UGent onderzoek rond microplastiek in akkergronden van de Benelux. @LM_UGent @ILVOvlaanderen funded by ERC
I was a bit unsure how to tackle 'The Wall' of people during my presentation at the @WageningenSoil conference. But still fun to talk about spatiotemporal dynamics of the soil microbiome. #soilhealth@ILVOvlaanderen@ResearchUGent
Happy to announce the start of the #MiCoS project with @LisaJoos1 where we will focus on microplastic contamination of agricultural soil in relation to soil and plant health. With thanks to @ERC_Research for funding and @ugent and @ILVOvlaanderen for believing in this project!
This week I joined the interesting talks about ecology at #NAEM2021. Had to give a presentation myself about the soil microbiome and I wanted to do it standing up. Luckely I had some inspiration from the #TheFloorIsYours! @ILVOvlaanderen
And Lisa Joos showed that Mortiriellaceae are the fungi responding to addition of chitin and also drought. @HaymantiSaha talked about her work on AMF helping plants in shade avoidance syndrom (#NAEM2021). Nice to also see a lively discussion.. More to follow!
Vandaag is het de Internationale Dag van #Vrouwen en Meisjes in de #Wetenschap. Wist je dat bij #ILVOatSociety de vrouwelijke onderzoekers bij de meerderheid zijn?
Very proud to present our new pre-print! We investigate mating type specific gene expression during sex pheromone signalling in a marine diatom using #transcriptomics. Find it now on #bioRxiv:

Meedoen aan de @Wet_battle, wat een ervaring. Ik ben benieuwd naar de finale in Technopolis! Laten we samen onder de grond duiken, opzoek naar wormen, bacteriën en schimmels. @ILVOvlaanderen
