New study finds that warmer oceans could cut populations of Prochlorococcus — the tiny phytoplankton that produce ~20% of Earth’s oxygen and form the base of many marine food webs — by up to 50% in tropical seas by 2100 if surface waters keep rising above ~28 °C. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Decade-long field measurements and modelling show that projected ocean temperatures could restrict cell division rates of an important marine cyanobacterium.

Oral sign up link: www2.cdc.gov/vaccines/aci...
How to submit a written public comment Any member of the public can submit a written public comment to ACIP.

Written comments must be received by September 13, 2025, using the Federal eRulemaking Portal. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. All submissions received must include the agency name and Docket Number. All relevant comments received will be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided. For access to the docket or to read background documents or comments received, go to https://www.regulations.gov. How to request to make an oral public comment The September 18-19, 2025 ACIP meeting will be a virtual meeting and will include time for oral public comment for members of the public. All individuals interested in making an oral public comment are strongly encouraged to submit a request starting September 2, 2025, to no later than 11:59 p.m., EDT, September 13, 2025, as there will be no opportunity to register for oral public comment later than September 13.
