It’s my last week as an @aaasmassmedia.bsky.social science fellow for the @latimes.com ! It’s been eye-opening to explore a city through the eyes of a reporter, and I’m excited to take these lessons with me into my next adventure. 🧪

My first field expedition as a PhD student taught me that no matter how perfect your “sampling plan” is, the conditions of bog itself is what ultimately determines how many soil measurements you can take. Here’s a #Sciku about this, from my lab notebook 🧪 to Bluesky! #wetland #peat #phd #scicomm

New #permafrost #peatland paper! 🥼❄️ 🌿 🧪⚒️ Here, my co-authors and I incubated soils from a palsa in northern Finland to see how the potential production of GHGs change at each thaw stage. We able to connect increases in CH4 to the effect of modern vegetation inputs. 🔗 doi.org/10.1029/2025...

Following the German tradition, after successfully defending a thesis, the labmates of the #PhD student craft a graduation #hat from a mishmash of scrap cardboard and memorabilia.Check out Dr. Dorothea Moser's fascinating PhD hat 🎓. 👉 Read more from the Cryospheric Sciences Division: egu.eu/1U1KN0

‘PhD hats’ tell the story of a PhDs students research, through the eyes of their peers. I’ve helped make a few of these hats during my time with @awi.de, and it’s become one of my favorite parts of studying in Germany. The hats are fun to make, and even more fun to write about :) 🎓

Excited to share the first paper from my PhD! Here, we found that soils with Sphagnum moss produced the most carbon at near-zero temperatures. All other soils in the transect produced more carbon, with higher incubation temperature. Sphagnum moss continues to intrigue www.borenv.net/BER/archive/...
