Marine Science Global Expeditions are an ongoing fact of life today. We are entering a niche that is unique among the many current players in the field. They generally operate in the non-profit space. Our thermal management efforts are over 20 years old so this is a logical connection to deploy our private resources and life long interests.

Ashley Bugge and I aren't scientists. We aren't your typical explorers. We're two #scuba divers 🤿 who love the ocean and who believe that anyone and everyone can create real and positive change. That's why we founded The Seabirds Foundation. To provide opportunities for regular people, like us, to have an extraordinary impact 💪. Our all-women expedition team is made up of youth advisors, adventure aunties, and everyone in-between. Our common thread is our passion and shared purpose of saving our big blue 🌊💙. As a new non-profit, this #GivingTuesday we're raising funds to buy a special sewing machine 🪡 to create upcycled citizen science bags from recycled sails ⛵️ and to help us move sustainably into 2025. These bags will allow anyone -- regardless of their schooling or training -- to participate in, understand, and contribute to ocean and climate science with their own two hands and fins. With your help, we can get more bags onto more ships and empower more people to help our oceans. Anything and everything helps, and we're so grateful for you! Bonus: if we reach $500 through GiveButter (our donation platform), we'll be in the running to get $5K! Together, let's Teach. Reach.

turn·ta·ble /ˈtərnˌtāb(ə)l/ noun 1. a circular revolving platform for turning a railroad locomotive, known for fascinating train lovers of all ages. Turntables aren’t as common as they used to be, but these structures represent a fascinating chapter in rail history. To preserve a notable example, BNSF donated the historic Clyde turntable from its Cicero, Illinois, yard to Railroading Heritage of Midwest America. However, relocating this relic to its new home comes with a few challenges. See how BNSF partnered with RRHMA to get the job done: https://bit.ly/4fDab8c #railroad #history #historicpreservation

This week's show is my eye-opening conversation with Anera CEO Sean Carroll, who takes us inside the immense challenges of delivering aid in Gaza. Sean shares the stark reality of what's happening on the ground:   • How Anera's team has managed to deliver 41 million meals and 8 million medical treatments despite tremendous obstacles • Why only 20% of needed aid is getting through, and what that means for families • The daily risks faced by humanitarian workers • How everyday people can make a real difference, whether through $5 monthly donations or spreading awareness   Sean's perspective is both heartbreaking and hopeful: "People want to respond. People want to bring out the best in themselves and in their community in terms of supporting humanity."   Did You Catch Last Week's Episode?   YMCA USA CEO Suzanne McCormick shared how the Y is tackling one of America's biggest challenges: social isolation.
