Rhizophagy and quorum sensing are fascinating soil processes, but do they matter for crop management?
My latest post examines the evidence, looking for field relevance to determine whether these are hype or helpful... csanr.wsu.edu/rhizophagy-and…

Soil bio-products - inoculants, biostimulants, biofertilizers - are risky; risky because these products often fail, are inconsistent, or have benefits<cost.
When you use a bio-product, you are looking for the exception.

Meta-analysis of commercial mycorrhizal inoculant research results:
Failure is the norm.

ALT 88% of commercial products were either ineffective at promoting crop growth or lacked sufficientAMfungal colonization, suggesting that 876 million of the 995 million USD spent globally on these products is wasted.

Most scientific published studies have “positive results.” But what about the papers with negative results?
Dr. Sarahanne Field, editor of @jtrialerror, joins us to discuss how failure can make science stronger.

This PNAS opinion piece may be of interest to those writing up a thesis or a manuscript for publication. The use of “I” versus “the author” is debated and gives food for thought. #WordsMatter @ReproductionSRB

I 💯 agree with @EBrennanScience re 'The power of first-person voice when writing about science' pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Absolutely this! The easier it is to read a scientific paper, the better it will be for its understanding.
I've even been told not to write "we did..." as it's "not scientific." I ignore that advice. "Scientific style" must stop meaning unnecessarily complicated and stilted.

Thanks, Eric!
Cover crop researchers often use quadrats to sample biomass, BUT this can lead to inaccurate data. My video explains this & was shown @ASA_CSSA_SSSA meeting last week. Please share it with cover crop researchers to help avoid common mistakes youtu.be/NExav9AdzTM

Engaging, informative and provocative as usual, Eric Brennan has a number of essential tips for everyone doing the quadrat toss into drilled cover crops. We readers need to believe the numbers!

This sounds like a great tip for #dyslexic academics!
💬 What tools or methods do you use to help you read or proof scientific papers? Share them with us and help us build an open list of tools for other #neurodiverse academics! elifesci.org/sparks-TTR
A great tool that I use to help me read PDFs of science papers naturalreaders.com/online/
You can adjust the speed & listen as it converts the text to speech
Also helpful to check the galley proof of your paper before publishing
