Another Ocean Science Jam is coming - this time polar themed! Get ready to step into the world of ice, fun critters ... and spontaneous artistic expression! I'm really excited about this one. You're heartily invited to come along and join us in Oldenburg!
Happy to announce the next Ocean Science Jam will be on the 23rd of May, the theme 'Polar World'. Bringing ocean science, creative improvisation and the public together! For videos of previous jams 👇🐻❄️ https://t.co/RB8ilB9Ibf

Just back from an amazing month with work at ##SouthGeorgia. This is the summit of Stenouse Peak looking down into Cumberland West Bay. When I first came here 23 years ago the fjord was filled by the Neumayer Glacier down as far as the glaciers on the left. #ClimateAction

A ball of barnacles wins wildlife photo award and sheds a light on serious threat posed by invasive aquatic species introduced through garbage at sea. A @UN project @glofouling is tackling the issue of marine #biofouling from ships. Learn about it here:
🎉 Congratulations to our Overall Winner. 🏆 The British Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2024 is Ryan Stalker with his image 'Ocean Drifter'. Well done Ryan on this truly thought-provoking award-winning image! The image also won the Coast & Marine category. #wildlifephoto

I am very happy to report that the years of work we put into studying the ecology and evolution of a single cryptic human gut plasmid is now nicely summarized in a paper that just appeared in @CellCellPress: https://t.co/yB16GgDXs9 Here is a 🧵 to cover some take home messages.

❓Did you know❓ IAATO member expedition vessels have boot-washing stations on board as part of their commitment to biosecurity in Antarctica. This facility can be found on vessels, at the head of the gangway, or close to where passengers board the ship 🇦🇶

Yes you can, Sofia!! Yes you can!! Fun fact: most scientist in the planet do not speak English as a first language ✨ And there are many amazing Latina scientists (who have much less opportunities and visibility than what they deserve, but that is a different story…)

As 2023 comes to an end, with its share of gains and losses. Let's focus on the bigger picture than getting caught up in the minutiae. Remember that we don't truly own anything, so when things fade away, we don't lose anything. Let's aim for more joy in the coming year. From the
