🇨🇦 We're back at the #bcit for another day of the #SaGES2025 conference.
Today Denis Hains presented the history, applications, organizational structure, and partnerships contributing to the #Seabed2030 mission!
Thank you Denis for inspiring next gen ocean mappers!
Looks like a lot of you have found the #SAGES2025 videos on the app and the sages2025.org web site. All session are open to registered attendees and CME claims are available until the end of the year.
If you need to register, you can still do so at the sages2025.org site.
I am in sunny Stirling for this event tomorrow, where I shall be ranting about the state of academic publishing to geoscientists.
I notice there are two #sages2025 hashtag events on Bluesky, and am guessing that this isn’t the one that’s discussing colorectal emergencies 🤔
The #SAGES2025 Meeting Videos have been edited and returned to the SAGES Office. We are working hard this week to get everything published into the app and allow attendees to view the whole meeting on demand.
We expect to announce access via email later this week.
