Had a really great day today visiting Subin Lan and his lab in Changchun, presenting our work to his students and discussing future collaborations. Next stop: #Biocrust6 in Yangling 😚

All things soil + biocrusts 🤓 https://www.iesw.uni-hannover.de/en/research/main-research-areas/soil-science
This year’s Ig Nobels include a biomechanics prize for creating a precise definition of kissing and a soil-science award for investigating what happens if you bury and then dig up 1,000 pairs of underwear. go.nature.com/4zUQyTB
Buried underpants and a new definition of kissing win 2026 Ig Nobel prizes
The awards highlight weird, funny and improbable research that also makes you think.

Gestern wurde der @bodendesjahres.bsky.social in Berlin vorgestellt: Es gab spannende Vorträge zum Thema Archivböden, interessante Gespräche mit Bodenkundigen aus @soilsdbg.bsky.social und @bvboden.bsky.social und leckeren 🍷 aus Hessen...
soilsDBG@soilsdbg.bsky.social · 9mo agoUnd der Boden des Jahres 2026 ist: der #Archivboden. Heute am #Weltbodentag in Berlin vorgestellt. Archivböden bewahren Zeugnisse der Natur- und Kulturgeschichte. Die Schirmherrschaft übernimmt der Hessische Umweltminister Ingmar Jung. Prof. Dr. Thomas Schmid hält die Laudatio. #BodenDesJahres
Happy 5th December, World Soils Day!! Please take a moment to think about your local patch of soil - whether it's your garden, a local park or even a nearby forest. Is the soil is being looked after well there? If not, what can you do to protect it for future generations? 🧪🪱 #Soil #WorldSoilDay
Das crazy! Black Friday! Zwei Bücher zum Preis von nur zwei Büchern!* Checkst du! (*Es lebe die Buchpreisbindung, die sicherstellt, dass alle Bücher in den Geschäften dasselbe kosten. Buchpreisbindung hilft Buchvielfalt erhalten.)
Today, I had a lot of fun at my daugther's elementary school, where I talked about the importance of healthy soils and the beauty of soil organisms (which is easy if one has the fantastic photos of @frankashwood.bsky.social). Next generation of soil scientists is secured I hope 👨🔬👩🔬
...and the honor of the first sample goes to... @peterkuehn37.bsky.social 🥳
Soil Biophysics Group Uni Hannover@soilbiophysics-luh.bsky.social · 12mo agoWe're thrilled that our new @brukercorporation.bsky.social X-ray ☢️ microscope has arrived and is now fully operational. We already have 1000 ideas for new projects 🤓.
HERE WE ARE!!! For Tübingen #DBG2025, we offer - for the first time - a dedicated conference app, accessible directly via QR code. Enjoy rapid updates, navigation through our exciting sessions & orchestrate your own programme. We look forward to welcoming you at the @unituebingen.bsky.social.
Dear all (members of the @soilsdbg.bsky.social, of @unituebingen.bsky.social & citizens of #Tübingen): Happy to announce that our academic celebration event of the #DBG2025 is open for public - offering 2 invited scientific presentations (engl.) & awarding ceremonies (ger). Feel warmly invited!
One of my favorite parts of the conference 😋. Looking forward to being in Tübingen in 2 days and seeing all my soil science friends (and tasting some yummy 🍰 with them)
soilsDBG@soilsdbg.bsky.social · last yr.To all #DBG2025 participants: We'll again offer our famous "Soil Profile Cake Contest (SPCC): All conference participants are warmly invited to bake a soil profile cake. Cakes will briefly be presented by their bakers in a “profile description, evaluated by a jury for pedology & tast, and awarded.
🚨 Call for session proposals! The #EGU26 SSS Division is accepting ideas for sessions. Help shape the programme: 🌱 soils, sustainability, climate, land use, and beyond. 📅 Deadline: 16 Sept 2025 🔗 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/provis... #SoilScience #EGU_SSS #ECS #ScienceCareers

Hey @elsevierconnect.bsky.social, @geoderma.bsky.social is one of my absolute favorite journals, but receiving a review request on a Saturday, 7:01 a.m. and then a reminder on Monday morning 7:14 a.m. ("why haven't you replied in the past 48 h of your weekend???") is beyond annoying 😑.
