Our new paper authored by the Scientific Committee of the #OOSC on "US federal cuts threaten international ocean science and diplomacy" has been published. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great discussions on all things marine microbes and biogeochemical cycles last week at our first in person meeting of the @biogeoscapes.bsky.social fellows second cohort in Santa Monica, CA. FYI no issues getting into and out of the states for any of us.

📢 Calling PhD students 📢 we want to hear from you! Help shape the future of PhD education. Take our survey to tell us all about your experiences https://go.nature.com/43iJAsi

TMC wants US permission to mine an area it licensed from the ISA under the sponsorship of Nauru. TMC declined to comment on whether those obligations to Nauru remain if it is issued a US mining license. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway https://go.nature.com/4jNRukb

Spring reminder, as people start to think about gardening: NEVER buy compost with peat it in (inexplicably still on sale). If it does not say "peat free" in big letters, do not buy it. Peat is incredibly valuable in peat bogs, for rare biodiversity and as a carbon store. Don't put it on your garden!

2025 POGO-SCOR Fellowship is now open for applications! 🚀 Provides funding for early-career scientists, technicians, postgrads from developing countries to spend 1–3 months at a leading oceanographic institute abroad 🌏 APPLY by 27 April 2025 pogo-ocean.org/capacity-dev...

The Metals Company's proposal to start seabed mining in the Pacific Ocean by 2027 has faced opposition from countries that are rarely aligned on these issues, such as China, Russia, India, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Indonesia, France, Argentina, Uganda, Mauritius, and Fiji.

These meetings are great! Much better for getting to know people outside your network than the big international conferences

“In the UK, between 1995 and 2019 while spending on university departments roughly doubled, the amount allocated to administration and central services more than quadrupled.” Some of this has likely been imposed by funders (e.g ukri/erc time sheets, DTPs etc)

SCAR fellowship applications are open. If you're an ECR interested in a collaborative visit to ANU to work together on Southern Ocean processes, please get in touch. Australia is a great place to be right now! scar.org/fellowships-...

Very excited to learn that the 2026 Ocean Sciences meeting in Glasgow will have an official tartan!

UK University funding is a mess at the moment. Student fees frozen while costs go up. Fewer international students coming to subsidise courses for UK students. No quotas, so ‘top’ Universities take more students to pay the bills. More news like this to come: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anyone got any hints or tips on communicating science to nursery age kids (4 year olds)? My sons nursery wants me to talk about our fieldwork in the Antarctic, not sure what level of detail I can/should go into beyond cute animals we saw…

The SDA was greeted into port by an old friend to @BAS_News . The Noosfera of @nasc_ua formerly known as the james Clark Ross. The crew were kind enough to give us a tour allowing the many scientists who’d sailed on the ship a chance to reminisce

Adjusting to life back in the real world after 2 months aboard the RRS sir David Attenborough in the Weddell Sea - got so much done with an awesome science team and crew! Looking forward to seeing all the science to come from all the samples we collected!

Any marine biologists know what this is? Came up stuck to a niskin bottle in the weddell sea, ctd went down as far as 2000m.

Successful drop off of geologists and their kit at Seymour island in the Antarctic @jdwitts.bsky.social finally sets foot on the land he spent his PhD studying years ago

A morning of ridiculously beautiful views as we rounded the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula and arrived at James Ross Island this morning. A team of 🇺🇸 palaeobotanists and geologists are going ashore here, hoping to find exceptionally preserved Cretaceous plant fossils. ⚒️🧪
