One of the most powerful forces in politics is the urge to destroy that from which you are excluded. This is why, in the highly unequal US, support for Trump holds up even as he trashes everything that makes a good society. Equality is key to preventing fascism.

Soil community ecology, i.e. how different soil organisms (in particular microbes) interact with each other, influence community composition and ecosystem functioning. How does the ecological interaction network in soils look like?
Totally blown away by today's agroecology meeting that multi- species ant interactions work as excellent pest control for coffee too. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
