In probably every area of science there are some persistent misconceptions that also make it to the public sphere, so that don't just stay within science. Why is important to question such myths, and how come they persist in the first place. Some food for thought here. • I also wrote a substack newsletter about this topic: • https://matthiasrillig.substack.com/p... • The papers I mention in the video: • Mycorrhizal networks: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4155... • Microbiom myths: https://www.nature.com/articles/s4156... • Matthias Rillig, professor of ecology at Freie Universität Berlin, talks about life in academia. • Interested in our lab? visit https://rilliglab.org. • Follow on twitter for life in academia content: @AcademLife • Follow on twitter for ecology content: @mrillig • Find me on mastodon: @[email protected] • LinkedIn: / rillig • Want a particular topic covered?
