Stashing CO₂ in the sea Keeping global warming to manageable levels will require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it somewhere else. The world’s oceans may be a promising option.

Syeda Mehreen Tahir is a 5th year Ph.D. candidate in Environmental Biology at Arizona State University working with Dr. Jon Harrison and Dr. Arianne Cease. Her research focuses on nutritional immunology, examining how dietary protein-to-carbohydrate ratios shape immune function and disease outcomes. Using a multi-omics approach that integrates physiological assays, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, her work explores trade-offs between immune investment and pathogen susceptibility, with broader implications for host–pathogen interactions in variable nutritional environments. Mehreen is currently seeking postdoctoral opportunities and would be delighted to hear from potential collaborators or mentors at smtahir2@asu.edu.

The kids came up with an ingenious plan, become marine stewards themselves through school programs. An idea that, due to its success locally, has spread across the globe, forever changing the idea of who could be a marine protector.Are these Polynesian kids onto something?👉 Follow @imagine5_official for more conservation stories!👉 Support Imagine5’s work - learn more at the link in bioImages from @laurent.weyl series on the conservation efforts in the Marquesas Islands licensed through @panospictures

Are the children in Polynesia still engaged in ongoing mgt of the Educational Marine Area?

Rob McConnell Interviews - ROSALIND PETERSEN - Agriculture Defense Coalition What is really happening in our skies—and how could it be affecting our environment, agriculture, and health? In this eye-opening episode, Rosalind Peterson of the Agriculture Defense Coalition raises critical questions about atmospheric activity, environmental policy, and the potential impact of large-scale programs on ecosystems and food production. Drawing from her background in agriculture and environmental research, Rosalind discusses concerns related to air quality, weather modification, and the long-term effects these factors may have on crops, soil, and water systems. She examines reports and data that suggest changes in environmental patterns—and asks whether enough transparency exists around activities that could influence the natural balance of our planet. This episode goes beyond speculation, encouraging listeners to think critically about the intersection of science, policy, and public awareness. How do environmental changes affect the food we grow and the air we breathe? What responsibility do governments and institutions have to inform the public? And how can individuals stay informed and engaged on issues that impact everyone? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that explores environmental stewardship, accountability, and the importance of asking questions about the world around us—because what happens in our skies may have far-reaching consequences here on the ground.
