Science costs more in some countries than in others...
and this can add to other geographical disparities like language barriers or access to infrastructure.

Our take on the matter, with potential solutions, now available in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social.

New paper from the lab in @natureportfolio.nature.com - Nature Food

Global exploration of drought-tolerant bacteria in the wheat rhizosphere reveals microbiota shifts and functional taxa enhancing plant resilience.

New metabolites & microbes identified to provide drought tolerance.

Amid the global soil health crisis, microbiome engineering is key for restoration. This study by Senka Causevic et al. examines how habitat filtering shapes soil microbiota transplant outcomes and how synthetic communities can steer resident microbiome development.

Fungal endophytes
Organisms are commonly grouped into ecological guilds that reflect their shared resource use and similar ecological roles. The guild concept has been …

When harmful fungi invade their carefully cultivated crops, fungus-farming termites fight back with the precision of skilled gardeners, a new Science study reveals, smothering them in soil clumps enriched with microbial allies that inhibit fungal growth. https://scim.ag/4nsAqCu
Fungus-farming termites can protect their crop by confining weeds with fungistatic soil boluses
The symbiotic agriculture of fungus-farming termites can collapse if they fail to prevent invading weeds. Previous studies suggest a role for symbiotic fungistatic microbes in bringing about weed cont...

Powerful piece by @darmenteras.bsky.social in @natureportfolio.nature.com #Nature Global science won’t be equitable until it goes beyond diversity optics & truly shares power, credit & leadership. A must-read for anyone committed to promote a more fair and just science www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending
Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.
