Hey fluids friends, we're recruiting in my department this year!
Wow! I was at the 2016 colloquium (which has by far the most beautiful room I've ever presented in), and can't believe we are approaching a decade already!
It's about time we start organizing the Liege Colloquium for 2026! Submesocale Processes in the ocean will be the topic, a revisit of the Colloquium of 2016. 10 years of advances!
I'll try to document here the journey towards organizing such an event, maybe there's interest? #LiegeOcean26 🌊🧪

3/3 But this is still an encouraging early sign that Congress (or at least a bipartisan committee in the Senate) DOES NOT WANT TO SLASH SCIENCE FUNDING.
But we also need to keep up the pressure too!!!
So continue calling your reps especially if you're in an appropriations state or district.
