Happy #ForestFriday! What would be a #forest without…#Moss?! #Mossless! Much less green, fluffy, fairy-taily…!

At #MAdLand2026 in beautiful Göttingen these days? Make sure to check out @tammitsoe.bsky.social poster on how we created something special in the lab...hint...it involves the "model" moss and #Cyanobacteria! @watertoland.bsky.social #Symbiosis #MossesAreCoolButCyanobacteriaMayBeCooler

Ecololgists!! This fall, the LEGO league's theme for their annual competition is ecosystems/biodiversity themed. We are going to need *a lot* of ecologists to help meet the demand. If you are willing to have a conversation with k-8 students about ecology, pls sign up here forms.gle/NbxitaXamK7B...

A teacher who is a fish has his fin on his hip and another pointing to the chalkbaord that says "Calling all ecologists skype a scientist needs you!" and a shrimp says "lego league jis coming" and a snail thinks "HELP!" and a seahorse says "This year's theme is ecosystems" and hot fish teacher says "Volunteer to speak with classrooms"
