- Reposted by Yakov KuzyakovA definitely new experience in my life: Afterwards, you know who among your friends & colleagues reads the local paper – and which 5 minutes of a 1.5-hour conversation the public gets to see 😄: from #farmlife in #Franken, studies @unibayreuth.bsky.social, love for #Africa to @terra-cluster.org 😅
- 🏞️From a “stone-rich” farm to excellence research 🌱🌍 In an interview with the Südwest Presse, our group leader Michaela Dippold (@unituebingen.bsky.social) talks about her path into geoscience and her role in the #ExcellenceClusterTerra. 🐄🌍 📌Link to the article: epaper.swp.de/schwaebische...
