Instragram profile focused on soil and science
Social media
September 2023–present
The aim of this IG profile is to talk about soil and science. However, it started as a profile about plastics throughout their life-cycle but mainly focusing on microplastics, as this was my previous topic.
With starting my PhD, the focus changed a bit (as well as the name).
Living Soil blog & Ekonews
Articles
April 2022–October 2023
While I was working in a Living Soil project (and also afterwards),
I contributed with a few articles on soil and also microplastics:
- Jak může půda pomoct s vlnami veder
- Mikroplasty VI: Zákaz hnojiv s řízeným uvolňováním živin. Obsahují mikroplasty. Co je nahradí?
- Mikroplasty V: V půdě dělají hrozné věci – třeba zhoršují sucho
- Mikroplasty IV: Pro naše těla jsou nebezpečný vetřelec, o kterém máme ještě hodně co zjišťovat
- Mikroplasty III: V půdě nezůstanou a lezou nám do zelí
- Mikroplasty II: Zemědělství přetéká plasty
- Mikroplasty I: Jak vám chutná kreditka?
Some of the articles were also reprinted in Ekonews:

Article
Autumn 2021
PomPom Magazine is a knitting & crochet magazine which includes not only knitting / crochet patterns
but also various articles. Issue 38
had a theme "Roots + Branches" and my article "Villains in the soil" on microplastics in soils was published,
refering to my research where microplastics were tangled in the roots.
