Excited to share our latest paper showing that sound boosts the growth of 'friendly' fungi! 🎶🍄 T. harzianum growth & sporulation increased when stimulated with a vintage-radio-like white noise. We're hoping to develop this to aid soil restoration. royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Applying for an ARC DECRA or Future Fellowship? Here's some advice ARC or your research office won't tell you. Based on experience (I've been fortunate enough to have sponsored/hosted 6 ARC fellows, and held 3 fellowships) tinyurl.com/tbbpxfty

Crackles, clicks and pops – now we can monitor the ‘heartbeat’ of soil
