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!

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!

Document Type: Proposed Rule
Title: Rescinding the Definition of Harm under the Endangered Species Act
Document ID: FWS-HQ-ES-2025-0034-0001
UPDATE: The Trump administration issued a proposed rule today that would rescind nearly all habitat protections for endangered species nationwide.

You can't protect animals and plants from extinction without protecting the places they live.
