Last week, our project’s Dr. Jennifer Pett-Ridge of LLNL was featured on The Economist Radio’s Podcast episode titled “Go with your gut – the hidden secrets and powers of microbiomes”. In the episode, Dr. Pett-Ridge spoke with host, Kenneth Cukier, about the complexity of soil microbial communities, their diverse and vastly unknown functions, and their ability to make soils a net CO2 source or sink.
