Had a great experience co-chairing a session with Meredith Seeley and Zhanfei Liu this past week at the #ASLO25 Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Charlotte, NC! Thanks to everyone who came to my talk, gave me feedback, and chatted with me about their research on plastic pollution or other cool topics!
Now that we have successfully completed #ASLO25 in Charlotte, NC, we look forward to the upcoming #OSM26 conferences in Glasgow, Scotland from Feb 22-27, 2026, and the ASLO-SIL Joint Meeting in Montreal, Quebec, CA from May 12-16, 2026. Save the date! Session proposals to open soon.
Grateful to attend #ASLO25 in Charlotte, NC as the Sci Comm Intern! Co-chaired the Communicating Science to the Public session and led a Hot Takes on Sci Comm panel. Honored to work with creative science voices in these sessions.
Amazing and inspiring #ASLO25: presenting my work on #polyphosphates, reconnecting with old colleagues, celebrating awards and great discoveries by friends and participating in the #ASLOMP program. Thanks! @aslo.org @arthurcoet.bsky.social @subhadeepchowdhury.bsky.social @marbenavides.bsky.social
Super happy to be able to present at #ASLO25 Charlotte, North Carolina about the importance of land-based sampling in marine DOM research.
We had a great time at our first #ASLO25 ! Great to talk about our #NSF funded DOM cycling work, learn about amazing science, and for my awesome grad student Courtney Clevenger and postdoc Lydia Davis to meet some of the marine science community. Strong showing by @uncw-cms.bsky.social !
Enjoyed a wonderful conference at #ASLO25. Congratulations to the conference Co-chairs on an amazing job!
#ASLO thanks all attendees for making #ASLO25 a success! Celebrate and network one last time at the Closing Reception in the Brooklyn Village Ave Foyer (West Tower) from 6-7 PM.
ASLO values your feedback! Keep an eye out for an upcoming survey about the 2025 ASM.

Last chance to meet team #ASLO: Join us at the ASLO Booth at 4 PM during the coffee break to meet board members, committee members, editors and staff to ask questions and learn more about our diverse #aquaticscience society, it's member benefits, and how you can volunteer with us! #ASLO25
Myself at the #ASLO25: co-chair the zooplankton ecology session chaired by @yniimi808.bsky.social! Great talks, including the one by Yuuki himself. And, what can I do? I selfie - bombed Yuuki during his talk
Yesterday we had a very active day at #ASLO25 with five #NSFfunded presentations (sorry Sem I did not get you on picture!), including our ASLOMP scholar Serena, @yniimi808.bsky.social, Rocío and Amy! Lots of interesting chats with colleagues, and new collaborations on the horizon. Good job team!
Proud to see the great work presented by @steps-stc.bsky.social scholars B Baird and M Torres at #aslo25

I wish I could bottle the energy of a scientific poster session. Pour it out when things get dreary. #aslo25
The dynamic duo of Margarita and Abby presenting their research on phytoplankton dynamics in the Galapagos at ASLO in Charlotte NC. #ASLO25
Taller members of the Marchetti Lab presenting their massive research findings at ASLO in Charlotte NC. #ASLO25. Go Emily!
Starting soon: Check out the #ASLO25 poster sessions from 6-8 PM in the Exhibitor Hall. It's a great opportunity to explore the latest research in #oceanography and #limnologyd. Engage with presenters, ask questions, and exchange ideas with fellow attendees.
Some truly amazing and information sessions occurring at #ASLO25 I’m so honored to be in the room with some amazing scientists and professionals!
