I have thoroughly loved reading this book. Like many I struggle to write on blank pages but there is a lot of great wisdom in this book and I suggest all early career scientists to read it. Thank you @martin-nunez.bsky.social for sharing your wisdom and experiences with us!

The wonderful @brookebosborne.bsky.social came north to the Northern Great Basin Experimental Range to help install sensors for a new moss micro-site project! Stay tuned to see how moss changes the micro-climate and possibly primes carbon fixation in early spring.
