Field workshop about soil!
09 August 2020 | 2 – 6pm @ Kamra, Triglavska cesta 8, Bohinjska Bistrica
Soil is a truly complex and dynamic ecosystem – it is an ever-changing mixture of minerals, living organisms, decomposing organic matter, air and water. It is the living skin of our planet, which allows the emergence of new life forms and includes nutrients left there by the past organisms.
Using a microscope, workshop participants will learn about different approaches of analysis of soil in their local environment. With well-prepared samples and the correct setting of the microscope, diving in and exploring the underground world of microbes is relatively easy and instructive!
Mentor

He is working on the endless and underexplored biodiverity of microbes, fungi and phages – with the aim to liberate the world from microphobia through workshopology, fermentation and microscopy. His current main project focuses on creative learning environments and public participation in science with emphasis on the invisible world.
