Great discussions on all things marine microbes and biogeochemical cycles last week at our first in person meeting of the @biogeoscapes.bsky.social fellows second cohort in Santa Monica, CA. FYI no issues getting into and out of the states for any of us.

TMC wants US permission to mine an area it licensed from the ISA under the sponsorship of Nauru. TMC declined to comment on whether those obligations to Nauru remain if it is issued a US mining license.

Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted.

But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway

Spring reminder, as people start to think about gardening: NEVER buy compost with peat it in (inexplicably still on sale). If it does not say "peat free" in big letters, do not buy it. Peat is incredibly valuable in peat bogs, for rare biodiversity and as a carbon store. Don't put it on your garden!

The Metals Company's proposal to start seabed mining in the Pacific Ocean by 2027 has faced opposition from countries that are rarely aligned on these issues, such as China, Russia, India, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Indonesia, France, Argentina, Uganda, Mauritius, and Fiji.

These meetings are great! Much better for getting to know people outside your network than the big international conferences

“In the UK, between 1995 and 2019 while spending on university departments roughly doubled, the amount allocated to administration and central services more than quadrupled.” Some of this has likely been imposed by funders (e.g ukri/erc time sheets, DTPs etc)

SCAR fellowship applications are open. If you're an ECR interested in a collaborative visit to ANU to work together on Southern Ocean processes, please get in touch. Australia is a great place to be right now!
