Soil Scientist
As a university student studying agriculture, I came to the realisation that the soil we walk upon is a largely unexplored world. This ignited my passion for soil and so I became a soil scientist. In my research I am investigating how soil ecosystems and how different components including plants and the organisms that live in the soil interact with one another.
Another passion of mine is citizen science as it can increase our knowledge by working together. The TeaComposition project is a great initiative that will bring together our local communities – from farmers to students and even researchers. It’s a lot of fun digging up tea bags from our gardens and environment. However, it’s also important because the information we receive could help to unlock the many secrets hidden in the soil and allow us to make changes for the benefit of the planet as a whole.
