My first field expedition as a PhD student taught me that no matter how perfect your “sampling plan” is, the conditions of bog itself is what ultimately determines how many soil measurements you can take. Here’s a #Sciku about this, from my lab notebook 🧪 to Bluesky! #wetland #peat #phd #scicomm

Delighted to welcome @mack-baysinger.bsky.social with a wonderful #Sciku providing insights into the challenges of peat soil core collection. There's a fascinating story behind the poem too! But seriously How to get soil in a tube Give us strength, peat gods thescikuproject.com/2026/01/15/r...

We were interviewed about our PhD hats by the fantastic @mack-baysinger.bsky.social! Check out the Cryosphere Caps miniseries - thanks for the opportunity to discuss these lovely hats! 🧪🌎⚒️ #wildfires #permafrost #yakutia #dog

Today we share another episode of our #cryocaps miniseries with you. This time @mack-baysinger.bsky.social chats with two researchers, Izabella Baisheva & @rglueckler.bsky.social, who take us to Siberia on a journey about permafrost, lakes, fire, culture and a dog. blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr...

‘PhD hats’ tell the story of a PhDs students research, through the eyes of their peers. I’ve helped make a few of these hats during my time with @awi.de, and it’s become one of my favorite parts of studying in Germany. The hats are fun to make, and even more fun to write about :) 🎓

On the @eurogeosciences.bsky.social #cryosphere blog we started a new miniseries called "Cryosphere Caps". Here, @mack-baysinger.bsky.social talks to #cryospherePhDs and the meaning of their graduation hats. Did you have a hat like this? Check out the very first post! ⬇️ blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr...
