Apply for the 2026 ASLO Science Communication Internship! Gain experience in a variety of #scicomm areas and explore diverse career paths in the #aquaticsciences. Open to current/recent graduate students (up to 2 years post graduation). 🔔 Deadline: Oct 15, 2025 www.aslo.org/scicomm-inte....

Hearing directly from scientists on the impact of funding cuts is very informative iaglr.org/releases/sur...

Fabulous opportunity for exposure to exciting careers in aquatic sciences. Thanks ASLO Student Committee!

Aquatic sciences are central to humanities well being. This piece stresses military dependence on scientific knowledge and there is so much more. Avoidance of loss of life on D-Day was new to me, as was the involvement of Walter Munk! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

🌊 #URIGSO professor @drplankton.bsky.social joins a global team of experts to outline the many ways plankton (tiny, single-celled aquatic organisms) make life on Earth possible: from regulating climate and fueling ecosystems to advancing science, sustaining economies, and shaping culture. 🦑 🧪

Plankton make Earth habitable. Here a number of plankton experts, led by an early career colleague show (incl. in high quality images), why and how. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Women make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Fabulous work communicating science where it counts: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/s...

Water is essential, but 1 in 3 people still lack access to safe drinking water. ASLO recently supported @agu.org and @asm.org in producing a report on how climate change fuels waterborne infections and how science can help. Check it out now: asm.org/reports/wate...

June 9th is a remarkable anniversary in the American Revolution, Rhode Island, maritime leadership at its best. Worth watching, don't miss minute 8 onward www.youtube.com/watch?v=El_S...

🌊🛳️ In May, three #URIGSO alums were together on #RVEndeavor to study ocean alkalinity enhancement’s impact on the planktonic food web in Georges Bank. A full circle moment for (left to right) Erica “Rickie” Ewton (Ph.D. ’25), Françoise Morison (M.S. ’14, Ph.D. ’16), and Andria Miller (M.S. ’23)! 🌊

This looks like a fabulous opportunity to share the deep value science has for society in a non-partisan way. A collective effort put together by graduate students. blogs.cornell.edu/asap/events-...

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪

It's wonderful to see when truly outstanding scientists, who generously give to the community and lead with excellence are recognized for their contributions. Congratulations, Scott @scottdoney.bsky.social

The ocean is always changing — and so is how we study it. Hear Dr. Chris Scholin discuss how the advent of robotic and advanced sensing and computing technologies has transformed #oceanography at our May 1 lecture. Register: buff.ly/dgMaBzn

🗳️ ASLO Members: In the coming weeks, we encourage you to participate in the elections for 2 Members-at-Large and 1 Treasurer on the #ASLO Board of Directors. Log into your ASLO member account, review the candidates' statements on the ballot, and rank your preferences: www.aslo.org/vote-in-the-...

Amplifying an important message from our colleagues at the American Meteorological Society about the importance of long-term & continued scientific observations. Weather data are but one example of our many dependencies on scientific data for US economic prosperity, national security and well being.

Register at www.BIMS.org/Events We will be speaking OUT on a range issues! 🌊 🦑

PANGAEA is rescuing numerous datasets scheduled for decommissioning in May. PANGAEA has opened its archive to help safeguard these valuable resources. If you become aware of other endangered datasets, please contact them. Importantly, let others know where to find the data. www.pangaea.de
