Please note that emails from 'me' asking you to 'help' are a scam based on publicly available data (e.g. attendees at ASLO meetings).

ASLO never* asks for money from members. What we do ask is that you engage with ASLO and renew your membership!

Could not agree more. She is a fine ship, with fabulous Captain and Crew.

access to the response is denied. seems to be for members only?

I'd love to visit. What is the website? (there is no click through in the image)

Hearing directly from scientists on the impact of funding cuts is very informative

Fabulous opportunity for exposure to exciting careers in aquatic sciences. Thanks ASLO Student Committee!

Opinion | Why U.S. dominance at sea is shrinking The U.S. still has an advantage on the waves, but ocean science needs more — not less — investment.

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!

🌊 #URIGSO professor @drplankton.bsky.social joins a global team of experts to outline the many ways plankton (tiny, single-celled aquatic organisms) make life on Earth possible: from regulating climate and fueling ecosystems to advancing science, sustaining economies, and shaping culture. 🦑 🧪

The immeasurable value of plankton to humanity Abstract. Plankton, a diverse group of aquatic organisms, make Earth livable, regulate aquatic life, and provide benefits to human societies such as access

Plankton make Earth habitable. Here a number of plankton experts, led by an early career colleague show (incl. in high quality images), why and how.

Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.

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!

Water is essential, but 1 in 3 people still lack access to safe drinking water. ASLO recently supported @agu.org and @asm.org in producing a report on how climate change fuels waterborne infections and how science can help. Check it out now: asm.org/reports/wate...
