This talk is especially for early career researchers wondering what comes next and offers both recognition of existing strengths as well as inspiration for future directions – whether in academia or beyond. 🐳

We are looking forward to having Lena at #ICYMARE this year and learn more about acknowledging and developing our data skills as marine researchers and how that can broaden career opportunities or open unexpected doors in Lena’s talk on Friday! 👏

These experiences now underpin her work at the DSC, where she connects researchers and creates opportunities to turn data into discoveries with real-world impact.

Her research – from active volcanoes to deep-sea corals and offshore wind farm surveys – combined marine expeditions, complex data integration, advanced data analysis, and cross-disciplinary teamwork.

Lena is a geoscientist turned science manager who has coordinated the DSC at Uni Bremen since 2020. She leads an interdisciplinary team, drives the center’s strategic development, fosters collaboration across disciplines, secures research funding, and oversees science communication and outreach.

We are looking forward to having Sarahi at #ICYMARE this year and learn more about bacteria, inclusion and neurodiversity in the third keynote talk on Thursday! 👏 🐳

Their acoustic telemetry tools shorten the paths from data collection to conclusion, observation to discovery, and detection to protection.
