Welcome

This blog is my attempt at outreach, a shout out to the growing mass of people who care about soil, and perhaps a bridge for those just waking up. It's a mingling of my thoughts both personal and academic, as a student and teacher and life experience explorer; a place for expressing ideas that might not always fit into a scientific paper but are not without value. Using the metaphor of the mighty micorrhizae that connect life below ground, this is me extending my network out beyond the limitations of the university and building connections for an expanding system of knowledge, understanding, and creativity. Welcome. Dig in.
