"Get the Dirt on Soil" Episode 2
In the miniseries "Get the Dirt on Soil" we dive into the soil crisis by interviewing President Obama’s science advisor, Dr. Jo Handelsman, and an innovator in the green ag industry, Keith Heidecorn of Locus AG. In this episode, ecology PhD student Nicholas walks us through different topics about what life is like among microbes in the soil environment. We touch on soil decomposition and nutrient cycles, plant disease, biofilms, and patterns of biodiversity. Producer: Nicholas Medina Co-hosts: Freida Blostein and Emily Crossette Guest: Jo Handelsman, Keith Heidecorn View Transcript of episode 2 References: Bairey, E., Kelsic, E. & Kishony, R.
