THIS amazing thing just happened at #BlackinMarineScience #BIMSWeek2024:
THREE generations of Black Alvin submersible divers together!
L to R: yours truly (1st Black woman), Dijanna Figueroa (deepest Black woman) + De'Marcus Johnson (new asst prof FSU)

It’s been a really hard week for me but you could never tell thanks to #BIMSweek2024 for the community 🫶🏿 #BlackInMarineScience
HUGE honor and pleasure to hang out a bit today with Bruce Applegate, @scrippsocean.bsky.social Assoc Dir of Ship Operations + Marine Technical Support, *and* aboard the R/V Sally Ride in port, no less, before they head to the Channel Islands!!

🌊✨ Hi Bluesky! I’m Dr. Xochitl Clare, a Marine Biologist & Performing Artist ( #DancingBiologist ). Afro-Latina 🇯🇲 🇧🇿 🇺🇸 studying community-based climate solutions in WA & Belize. 🎭🌊 Ph.D., 🧜🏾♀️ diver, 🩰 dancer, & filmmaker mentoring future scientists. Let’s connect! 💙 #blackinmarinescience
#tbt Juneteenth in Miami🌺✨with BIMS! Meeting Presidents of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers & celebrating the BIMS Immersion Program (BIP) was everything #WEOUTSIDE #blackinmarinescience
📆 🎙️#tbt My first talk on my holistic marine science work in Belize 🇧🇿& PNW🏔️ @ UW SAFS last year !➡️Swipe to see how it went! Was super nervous sharing complex work so close to my heart ! So proud! 💜✨ #SciComm #HolisticMarineBiology #blackinmarinescience
📣🏅#repost I’m a 3 yr Washington Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship @ the University of Washington @ Padilla-Gamiño Lab in Marine Biology🌊📣🏅🔥More to share as I get more comfy on here! #AddtoBlackSky #blackinmarinescience
It’s important now more than ever to amplify m Black & scientific voices so I’m honored to announce that I’ll be speaking at #BIMSWeek2024 here in 📍San Diego. Excited to connecting with leaders, innovators & fellowshipping with a community from across fields in marine sciences #BlackinMarineScience
Today we want to highlight Black in Marine Science and their mission! Make sure you follow them and see the great work they do making sure the next generation of scientists see themselves represented! #RepresentationMatters #blackinmarinescience #featurefriday
Today for #BlackInMarineScience week, meet Dr. Tony Orr (@seatigre), a wildlife biologist with the @NOAAFisheries Marine Mammal Laboratory at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. His work seeks to monitor & assess pinniped populations, including CA sea lions & northern fur seals.
Perhaps no better way to end #BlackinMarineScienceWeek than to do a @SkypeScientist session + some @SpongeBob luv 💕with 85 middle schoolers!! "Q: I can actually DO this for a living? A: YES you can, and we NEED you!" #ForUSFriday #BlackinMarineScience
Today in #BlackInMarineScience Week, meet @Kiki_Jenkins. An associate professor of #sustainability at @ASU_SFIS and @ASUCollegeofGF, Dr. Jenkins’ work explores innovation and change in #fisheries, #technology, and #energy.
Today for #BlackInMarineScience Week, we spoke to Fred Nelson (@fishy_scientist), a current PhD student in ecology with the Todgham Lab at UC Davis. He is currently studying the variation in phenotypic plasticity in response to climatic stressors across temporal scales.
For #BlackInMarineScience Week, we’re highlighting @alliemarih96, a conservation biologist and current master’s student at University of Florida.
“Having a mentor fighting alongside you is instrumental to succeed while being Black in STEM,” Alizé says.

"I worked not just at 100%, but 110%, 120%, or 150%, in part to debunk ... the thinking of skeptical colleagues that I was not just an affirmative action hire without the necessary competency" #RealTalkWednesday #SinkOrSwim #BlackinMarineScience...

A little late for #DivingWhileBlack during our fabulous #BlackinMarineScienceWeek but enjoy this convo between the 1st Black woman to dive in Alvin & the 1st woman to reach Challenger Deep (+ 1st 🇺🇸 woman to walk in space!) #BlackinMarineScience...
Today for #BlackInMarineScience Week, we’re highlighting Yackar Mauzole, a postdoc studying physical oceanography at @scripps_ocean.
Yackar is a “dry oceanographer:” rather than research cruises, most of her work is on her laptop.
Continuing our #BlackinMarineScience Week features, say hello to @ucd_cmsi PhD student Marlynn Rollins (@marthemollusk)! Marlynn is studying marine ecology and recently worked with us as a California Sea Grant Extension Intern this past summer.
Today we’re highlighting @scripps_ocean PhD student @jeramy_d95 for #BlackInMarineScience week.
Jeramy’s research focuses on how natural processes affect low-level cloud formation in remote marine environments.
For #BlackInMarineScience week, Carina Fish (@Carina_Fish) shared insights into her research on CA coastal waters, guiding principles, and how she finds joy outside of science.

This week, California Sea Grant is proud to support the #BlackinMarineScience campaign by highlighting marine scientists in California.
Follow along this week to meet scientists at all stages of their careers in marine and coastal science and policy.
Today in #BlackInMarineScience #BlackInMarineScienceWeek is #BIMSRollCall ! I encourage everyone on #TeamOcean to follow that hashtag, listen, follow, and amplify! If you’re white like me, I encourage you to listen and amplify much much much more than you speak.
