An honour and a privilege to present my research here in Manchester for the British Society of Soil Science Conference. In my talk I presented research from the EU AI4SOILHEALTH project focussing on the need for soil assessment Frameworks focussing on soil quality. Enjoyed it. Thanks for the invite

Direct measurements can reduce uncertainty in soil carbon credit markets
Directly measuring soil carbon rather than relying on predictive models can provide hard evidence of how much carbon is being stored, allowing for better assessments of confidence in carbon markets for croplands, according to a study co-authored by Yale School of the Environment scientists and recently published in Environmental Research Letters.

Probability, like Schrödinger’s cat, exists in a paradox: it’s real enough to guide our actions, but vanishes under scrutiny. David Spiegelhalter argues it might not exist—but pretending it does keeps uncertainty in check. 🎲 🧪🌏🌱 #Probability #Science #Philosophy www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why probability probably doesn’t exist (but it is useful to act like it does)
All of statistics and much of science depends on probability — an astonishing achievement, considering no one’s really sure what it is.
