@KateLeaver92 geez i hope someone is picking up those water coolers, maybe an entrepreneurial spirit will drop them on marketplace?!

Loving the newly revamped Yagan Square 🫣

New article on developing control release fertilisers by utilising LCFAs with organic based fertilisers derived from waste resources - looking to continue this research for Hons/MSc/PhD level students - DM me sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@worrolong @IOA_UWA @SAgE_UWA @arcbiosolids @arc_gov_au applied prior seeding to a mixed pasture

@bedemickan @IOA_UWA @SAgE_UWA @arcbiosolids @arc_gov_au How do plan to use the biochar?

Well, its smelly, but fun work - loading digestate onto #biochar for upcoming experiments in recovering nutrients from waste resources @IOA_UWA @SAgE_UWA @arcbiosolids @arc_gov_au

I just love talking about opportunities and challenges with managing our waste #biosolids Students were thoroughly engaged and contributing to a robust, and pragmatic discussion about safe and beneficial recovery of nutrients from this waste @arcbiosolids @SAgE_UWA

Great to talk to @DPIRDWA about sustainable end uses to food waste, and finishing the talk with a glasshouse experiment as part of the @arcbiosolids centre @SAgE_UWA @Richgro_Garden @watercorpwa

New article on developing the food waste derived biorefinery! Lactic acid production from food waste at an anaerobic digestion biorefinery: effect of digestate recirculation and sucrose supplementation frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Well done @aitianren for your recent article, its a pleasure collaborating with you:) Buffering effects of the soil seed bank on annual plant community composition after wetland drying @UWAsoils @SAgE_UWA @IOA_UWA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ld…

Another day, another media interview for @SMS_UWA & @IOA_UWA Assoc/Prof Michael Considine @vinebiology! Here he is chatting with @ABCRural reporter @MarkForeman92 all about his mission to make table grapes one of the most valuable fruit crops in Northern Australia 🍇

Congrats @Miranda_Slaven for her MSc proj from SAgE UWA, investigating different crop residues impact on soil carbon and soil biology + a whole lot more! looking fwd to sharing this research when published @meganryanuwa @AgroJAK @UWAsoils @SAgE_UWA

Great to have @BiolSci_UWA @Fritz_Lab and @YitHengChooi with all their PhD students at @Richgro_Garden #foodwaste #biogas facility in Jandakot, talking about the circular economy and also sustainable fertilisers @IOA_UWA @SAgE_UWA

Post doc position available at UWA! Soil biology/molecular ecology/soil chemistry/some plant stuff skill set needed for a 2 year position in Soil biology labs! Its a great team, loads of latitude for "you to do you". linkedin.com/jobs/view/3366…
