Newly minted female PhDs who did incredible doctoral research becoming high-profile and highly effective research advocates because dumb ass right-wing trolls made fun of their thesis topic is my new favorite thing.

🎬 here’s a golden oldie from the archives 🏃🏻🏃♀️💪
TRAIL RUNNING CONDITIONING CIRCUIT
This time of year many of us are hitting the trails, uneven surfaces and wet, slippery conditions.
Although these type of exercises are usually used in ankle sprain rehab, we should think about using them to ? reduce the risk of injury and improve performance at this time of year.
Start with 2-3 x week, 30-90 secs per exercise depending on ability and current fitness.
Progress as able over 6-12 weeks.
Eco-twitter: what is your preferred alternative to Twitter for science news, networking, etc? Strongly considered leaving given the obvious decay of this platform.

Hi @TOMSTloggers ! I was wondering if you have developed (or are in the process of developing) soil moisture calibration curves for the TMS-4 sensor? Thanks!
