My paper of the week-thread.
I will post my personal 🌟paper of the week🌟 every Monday! You can follow #benediktspapersoftheweek to keep updated. These are articles that I find of particular interest for my field of research, which is #breeding for #diversified #CroppingSystems. I will always reply to the latest post. Over time, there will be a nice collection of research that I appreciate and value in this thread.

Well, after a couple of months of mostly-lurking and one server move, I think I can say I've decided to stick around on Mastodon, which I guess means it's time for an #introduction

I study rotational diversity, nutrient cycling, and soil microbial communities in #CroppingSystems. All-season #bike commuter, parent to a couple of top-notch medium-sized kids, moderately skilled #bagpiper, and opinionated local #SaintPaul #MN weirdo.

Honestly, I'm mostly here for the pictures of cool bugs.
