Got ocean science that stands out from the blah blah?! Committed to research with integrity and impact? Want to contribute reviews that count? Interested in supporting early career researchers?

Science is facing one of its most challenging moments. There's never been a more important time to understand the current state of federal science funding—and what’s at risk. Watch AGU’s on-demand webinar to get the full picture. 🎥 buff.ly/AIDUCEi

Did you know? In Louisiana three new gas plants will be built to power a massive Meta data center. AI needs a lot of power and is accelerating our fossil fuel problem. But we know how to make renewable energy using solar and wind. We need to demand sustainable solutions from our politicians.

Water quality off Miami Beach is shit—quite literally—with 10x safe levels of enterococci bacteria reported this week, largely due to leaky septic systems in rising groundwaters. If you are local consider contacting Mayor Levine-Cava to demand county sewers. 🌊 @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social

Predatory journals, science fraud, and reviewer burnout are undermining the quality of our science. What can we do? Senior scientists: Evaluate on quality because numbers no longer equate with scientific productivity. Junior scientists: Embrace slow science because your reputation is everything.

I’m a big beautiful science nerd researching how ocean currents are spinning off more extreme ocean storms and what that means for marine life. Many unknowns come with change, this is just one tiny detail, and everything is changing so fast. With stakes this high, no wonder we humans are divided.

When we use words, form policies, and take actions against others for the way the world is, we are thinking with our egos and acting on our resentments, instead of thinking with our love and acting on our compassion. The ocean humbles egos and heals resentments.

🌊 In the water and on the water. The ocean is VAST, more than twice the area of all the continents put together. Plus an astounding 4 km deep, more than 5 times the world’s tallest building. And still, we 8 billion humans are changing every interconnected corner of it.
