- Aquatic sciences are central to humanities well being. This piece stresses military dependence on scientific knowledge and there is so much more. Avoidance of loss of life on D-Day was new to me, as was the involvement of Walter Munk! www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
- Reposted by Susanne Menden-Deuer🌊 #URIGSO professor @drplankton.bsky.social joins a global team of experts to outline the many ways plankton (tiny, single-celled aquatic organisms) make life on Earth possible: from regulating climate and fueling ecosystems to advancing science, sustaining economies, and shaping culture. 🦑 🧪
- Plankton make Earth habitable. Here a number of plankton experts, led by an early career colleague show (incl. in high quality images), why and how. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...
- Reposted by Susanne Menden-DeuerWomen make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A full circle moment for (left to right) Erica “Rickie” Ewton (Ph.D. ’25), Françoise Morison (M.S. ’14, Ph.D. ’16), and Andria Miller (M.S. ’23)! 🌊
- This looks like a fabulous opportunity to share the deep value science has for society in a non-partisan way. A collective effort put together by graduate students. blogs.cornell.edu/asap/events-...
- Reposted by Susanne Menden-DeuerTwo days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪
- It's wonderful to see when truly outstanding scientists, who generously give to the community and lead with excellence are recognized for their contributions. Congratulations, Scott @scottdoney.bsky.social

- UPDATE: The Trump administration issued a proposed rule today that would rescind nearly all habitat protections for endangered species nationwide. You can't protect animals and plants from extinction without protecting the places they live. More info: biodiv.us/42EnuQH
- Honey bees are an excellent example. While few are likely 'taken', other than by the odd windshield, they have declined dramatically.
