Working for Marine Science Eco Experience has been nothing short of wonderful.

Patricia and Charles Robertson have committed a transformative $5 million to support graduate research in UD's School of Marine Science and Policy. In recognition of their decades of impactful contributions, including nearly $7 million in previous support, the University honored the Robertsons with its highest accolade, the Medal of Distinction. Their new endowment will fund up to 10 graduate students annually, advancing critical research on climate change and marine policy while shaping the future of scientific discovery at UD. 📰: https://ow.ly/sKOl50UkYG6

✨ Pacific Science Center Opening Doors for Future Scientists 🔬 Our Science on Wheels and Digital Discovery programs are more than outreach—they’re gateways to discovery. As King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci said: “PacSci goes far and above providing scientific education. They give each visitor a key to explore both the world and their own curiosity, opening doors to learning, growth, and the future.” Thanks to the transformative Doors Open levy, we’re bringing hands-on STEM experiences to communities most affected by inequities, ensuring that youth in King County have access to life-changing opportunities for exploration and growth.

A lot of my students from The Wharton School are high flyers, but none has flown as high as Jameel Janjua (literally!). Check out this article from Penn Today about him: https://lnkd.in/eqAZPHk6

Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity is back, bringing a week of free, hands-on science activities for young people and families this February half-term. 🔬 🦠 🧪 🔭 🧬 🤖 👩🔬 Colleagues from across NTU will be contributing, covering topics such as owl pellet dissection and how to extract DNA from strawberries using every day household items, along with a session on using clay to make cells, and demonstrating with specialized cameras how different animal eyes see the world. Visitors will also get the chance to see a ‘planeterella’ developed at the university, which shows how electrical currents can flow through space, mimicking the spectacular visual effects of the Northern Lights.

🌊 Day 3 Recap: Black in Marine Science Week 🌊 From inspiring keynotes to thought-provoking panels, Day 3 was nothing short of incredible! ✨ Morning Highlights We kicked things off with the incomparable Christian Cooper delivering a keynote that reminded us of the power of resilience and inclusivity in nature. His passion and insights set the tone for the day! ✨ Afternoon Sessions • Trauma to Triumph with Dr. Tiara Moore and Lynnette Adams : A moving discussion on overcoming challenges in marine science. • Surfing the Leaky Pipeline with Amani Webber-Schultz : Practical advice for navigating the path to graduate school in marine science. ✨ BIMS X Talks We were blown away by the brilliance of our speakers: Dr. Obakeng Molelu , Leslie Nguyen, Germain Bebe, Danielle McHaskell, and Renne Harcourt. Each talk was filled with passion, innovation, and inspiration. ✨ Blue Table Talk “How Can AI Empower You as a Marine Scientist” brought together Craig Poku and Germain Bebe, MBA for a fascinating discussion on tech and science. Ended the night with an incredible youth night with Birch Aquarium at Scripps!! Thank you to all the amazing speakers, attendees, and our incredible community for making Day 3 unforgettable. #BIMSWeek2024 #BlackInMarineScience #MarineScience #FortheOcean

Celebrating Rockville Science Day: Inspiring Future Generations in Science This weekend, Rockville Science Day once again opens its doors to families, providing an exciting glimpse into the world of science. Events like these are not just about fun and education; they're crucial in inspiring the next generation of scientists, especially those from underrepresented groups, including girls, neurodiverse individuals, and LGBTQ+ youth. Science, at its core, is about curiosity, exploration, and challenging the known boundaries of knowledge. However, not every child feels that the world of science is welcoming or accessible to them. Rockville Science Day offers a unique opportunity to change these perceptions by actively involving and encouraging participation from all backgrounds. Why is this important? Because we all benefit when diverse perspectives are brought to the table. Research shows that diverse groups are more innovative and can solve complex problems more effectively than non-diverse groups. Encouraging underrepresented youth to embrace science can lead to breakthroughs that benefit society as a whole. For girls, who are historically underrepresented in fields like physics and engineering, seeing female scientists and engineers in action can light a spark of possibility. For neurodiverse children, the hands-on nature of many science activities provides a different avenue through which they can learn and excel, often more aligned with their strengths. LGBTQ+ youth, seeking spaces where they can be accepted and valued, can find in the sciences a community that judges on the basis of evidence and merit, rather than on biases or stereotypes. Rockville Science Day is more than just a local event; it's a gateway to a lifelong journey in science. By fostering an environment where all kids can see themselves as scientists, we are not just opening doors for individual careers but are also paving the way for a more inclusive and innovative future. Let's support and promote these opportunities, ensuring that every child can access their full potential and possibly one day, become the great scientists who will shape our future. The Equity Office is so proud to co-sponsor our Affinity Group in participating in this event to inspire future scientists. Thank you Kaitlyn Lucey for your leadership. US Pharmacopeia is so luck to have you and other USP staff represent us. Join us, share your experiences, and let's work together to make science truly for everyone! #RockvilleScienceDay #DiversityInSTEM #FutureScientists
