Press releases and blog posts about my scientific work, plus some playful or downright nonsensical writing

• Guest post on the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative blog series about how trophic rewilding - the (re)introduction of large animals to restore wilderness in ecosystems - needs a soil ecological respective.
• ​Guest post on the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative blog where I explain in lay terms a meta-analysis on soil biological responses to herbivores: part 1 and part 2
• Some highlights from my travels in Antarctica as part of a US scientific team:
  • On dead penguins and ancient lichens
  • Antarctic ice is a form of art
  • Wormherders in actions
  • Not only penguins: Science for all sizes in McMurdo
• Probably the only thing ever written in the history of humanity to bring together Antarctica, unisexual rotifers, ice cream, and The Big Lebowski: an unpretentious, playful poem I wrote in honour of my Antarctic research team
• In a hole in the ground, there lived an earthworm... Transcript of a pitch talk I gave for the 97th Dies Natalis of Wageningen University
