Happy World Soil Day! In honour of the occasion, here’s a flashback to a speech I gave earlier this fall on the need for Canada to have a national soil health strategy. https://youtu.be/cwTJOKQcwW8 #WorldSoilDay #Soil #UnitedNations #cdnpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

The cover art is finished for my new book and I LOVE IT!
This safari tour of the life in soil and what it means to us, is now available for pre-order as ebook, soft and hardcover in the UK and Commonwealth. Published in August next year (US date soon), I hope it'll entice everyone to fall in love with soil!
So far there will also be German, Polish and Japanese language versions too!

Yesterday we had earthworm cocoons, today I bring you springtail spermatophores!
Springtails, like many other soil invertebrates, reproduce by a male leaving these structures (a blob of sperm-rich fluid on a stalk), which the female will sniff out, collect and use to fertilise her eggs. Very romantic!

Powerful new #antibiotic that can kill #superbugs discovered in #soil #bacteria
Surprise discovery could pave the way for new treatments against #drugresistant #infections.
They discovered an intermediate compound — called premethylenomycin C lactone — whose #antimicrobial activity was 100 times stronger than that of the final product. Tiny doses killed strains of bacteria known to cause hard-to-treat infections.

These are the beautiful spore-producing structures of plasmodial slime molds. Which is your favourite colour?
Originally considered Fungi, these Myxomycetes are now classed as Amoebozoans - single celled organisms with thousands of nuclei... not animals or fungi but something else entirely!
