Beaver Tales Ep 3- Sean Maston Beaver Tales · Episode

Reflecting on experiences that have shaped my academic path —being awarded the 2024 Schoenstein Sustaining Excellence Scholarship at @oregonstate.edu, was a big deal.

Scholarships like this are vital for undergrads starting out in research.

I talk about this and more on the Beaver Tales podcast:

Why are @vkokkoris.bsky.social and @seanmaston.bsky.social exploring deep soil fungi?

Underground fungal networks are crucial for drawing carbon belowground. Topsoil carbon can be released due to land use and agricultural practices, so the role of deep soil fungi remains vital.

A special type of ancient fungi live deep beneath the soil’s surface and can help lock away carbon for thousands of years.

@vkokkoris.bsky.social, Mica Tosi & @seanmaston.bsky.social are digging deep in Arizona, looking to unlock their full potential.

Good news for fungal networks in Europe as the EU moves towards healthier soils. 

The Soil Monitoring Law will pave the way for healthier soils that benefit us, and our environment: buff.ly/SodAQYg

Protect soils.
