One chance conversation at #OSM24 → a scientific breakthrough. 💬🌊

Our infiniTE™ float captured first-of-its-kind fine-scale ocean vertical structure — powered by the ocean itself.

One of the best parts of being in Public Engagement is sharing #URIGSO science with RI students. These special girls featured in the video not only built a miniboat, but represented the program at the Ocean Race and in New Orleans at #OSM24 🌊

Today’s girls in science are tomorrow’s women in STEM 👩‍🔬

How to make a stellar conference poster, based on seeing hundreds at #OSM24

Grains of salt:
- I'm a #SciComm 'er, so this is part of my job but you might disagree!
- All hail the OG Academic Posters advisor, @doctorzen.bsky.social, who has a blog and a book about this

The WORST part of #OSM24 was going to sessions that said "here is exactly how to not harm ppl + make 🦑🧪 more inclusive" and then during the breaks and meals, get updates on who we don't work with bc they were reported but the investigation concluded with no consequences (except for the reporters)

What fun stuff can you find in the expo hall of a marine science conference? (Spoiler alert: a disturbing number of skeletons. And confusingly, puppies?) #OSM24 www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR3ncAxF/

Kid: What do sandworms eat?
Me: I don't know, sand?
Kid: They probably eat the desert phytoplankton in the sand.

This is what happens when you watch Dune a week after returning from #OSM24

So OSM26 will be in Glasgow (Scotland) in mid February! What do people think? #OSM24

Following the #OSM24 hashtag was like taking a trip and never leaving the farm. Thanks, y’all for sharing the amazing science and wonderful times for those of us who couldn’t attend.

Ok, all caught up now after a week at #OSM24

Farewell #OSM24 - it really was a fun week!

Sending a warm thank you to all who came out to our book talk at Crescent City Brewhouse in #NewOrleans this past week. 

Co-author @tessahill.bsky.social enjoyed the great turnout, especially since a portion of book sales goes to the SELA Voice Project! 🌊🐟

Feeling inspired and loved after #OSM24 - the science was awesome, but the true win was reconnecting with my incredible friends, colleagues, and #ASLO community. Making new connections/collaborations. And feeling supported and less alone on this academic journey. I love y’all :)

A few of my BOEM colleagues at the BOEM booth for Ocean Sciences Meeting 2024.

Catching up with some of my peeps from our winter 2023 E/V Nautilus expedition (NA157 in Oah’u, Hawai’i).

Puppy Zone at Ocean Sciences Meeting 2024. All puppies were from a local rescue (Take Paws Rescue in New Orleans, LA, USA) and are available for fostering or adoption!

Ocean Sciences Meeting 2024 was a blast (despite my seasonal allergies 🤧). Always wonderful to catch up with colleagues and meet some new folks!

And yes, there was a Puppy Zone in the Expo! Hope to see everyone at AGU this winter. #OSM24

Got some Lagrangian perspective on the flight home from #OSM24

Shamelessly stealing this pic from twitter is an appropriate first post here, I think... 😜

Here's to giving talk on marine heatwaves earlier this week in the largest room at #OSM24

After #OSM24, kids suitcase sticker game is strong. Thanks vendors!

Glasgow 2026😱 #OSM24

Be well room sign that says This room is a quiet space for attendees experiencing anxiety or overstimulation at the meeting. This is not a work room or a place to make phone calls. Please respect this room's purpose.

Additional text to the be well room says “Sleeping/Napping is not permitted in the Be Well Room.”

The Be Well Room at #OSM24 was really cool but check the additional signage later in the week 😂

“Sleeping/Napping is not permitted in the Be Well Room.”

Day 4 at #OSM24 - my last day at one of my favorite conferences. Thanks to everyone for such an amazing week sharing your science in New Orleans!!! Your friend shared this video with you. Watch it now! www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR3qn78q/

Great talk from my Filmographer Amy Lauren on how we use Virtual Reality to engage students and community members in science #osm24

Coral reef detritus is quite the mixture 😂 Third (and longest) dissertation chapter published today in @peerj with @PawlikLab @iMESALab and @ednatecinc

Cherry on top of a great week at #osm24 hanging out and talking science with friends!

Removal (mCDR) II Poster was well attended thanks everyone! #OSM24

This is a really important event!! The Jason ROV is so popular (and so great for science) that the scientific community could really use another (smaller) one! Faster deep sea science is critical in an era of climate change #OSM24 @symbiosisrox.bsky.social

Soooooo did anyone take home a puppy from #OSM24 ?

SOLAS Summer School (2023) reunion at #OSM24 - Great to see so many known faces! #SOLAS #SurfaceOceanLowerAtmosphereStudies

Has anyone cracked the mystery of great hall D? #OSM24
