Who wants to know how plant roots and microbes conspire to induce anoxic microsites in the rhizosphere? Check out @soiltycoon.bsky.social's latest paper in New Phytologist! lnkd.in/eCwxkwT2.
THANKS to G Ceriotti, P De Anna, S. Borisov, J Berg, D Garrido-Sanz, C Keel, the NCCR Microbiomes and SNF.
New paper! 🎉 Check out how soil organic N dynamics within MAOM are mediated by management and geochemistry. Team effort led by Rachel Hestrin and Gabriella Griffin + major contributions from @andreajilling.bsky.social and @stuartsoil.bsky.social + many others. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Job Alert 🚨 : Two-year Postdoc in Redox Biogeochemistry of Coastal Soils available. Focus on oxygen, metal and carbon cycling in the rhizosphere.

Very surprised (and pleased 😊) to be listed as 2025 Highly Cited Researcher for the first time!
Great occasion to thank all the amazing mentors, collaborators and team members that I have been lucky enough to work with over the years!

When it comes to climate change, our diets matter — and matter a lot.
Not to mention for biodiversity, water, and especially our own health.
The updated EAT-Lancet report makes this abundantly clear.

NEW PAPER 🚨 Curious how plant root exudation and soil texture might interact to form dynamic anoxic microsites in the #rhizosphere, and what they might mean for the fate of soil #carbon, nutrient or contaminent in #soils? Check out @soiltycoon.bsky.social's new paper in SBB: doi.org/10.1016/j.so...
Time for new group 📷!
Really lucky to work with such a great group of people. Go Team!
We're super excited about my @unil.bsky.social colleague @pbenettin.bsky.social 's new Ecotrons! Fully climate controlled soil lysimeters! So many possibilities for manipulations and experiments!

True and comprehensive team effort with many important contributions and different perspectives
PAPER 🚨 Organic matter associated with reactive #soil minerals (aka #MAOM) is often assumed to be the most persistence terrestrial #carbon pool. Here we introduce a new mechanistic framework for the vulnerability of this vast #carbon reservoir to disruption in the #rhizosphere. rdcu.be/euik0

This is a good start.
While in government, I was dismayed by how the value of scicomm was devalued at multiple levels.
The hard truth: This is not just about better PR, without effective scicomm, we lose public support for critical investments that benefit EVERYONE.

Interested in spatially resolving microbial necromass formation and recycling? Check out Bouke Bentvelsen‘s poster at #EGU2025 today.
It's timely that I re-post a tweet from July, 2022 (if you know why, you know), which I made soon after I left my first postdoc. Many empathized with me then and still do today.
*the original tweet is gone b/c I quit Twitter, but it has been archived elsewhere:
