It has been a good week for #bioluminescence research by superstar postdocs now in greater roles. *Bioluminescent sponge* cell.com/iscience/fullt… *Coelenterazine biosynthesis* frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… (Severine Martini Darrin Schultz Manabu Bessho-Uehara @Wyaquarist MBARI)

A partnership between U.S. National Science Foundation, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Office of Naval Research (ONR) is leading to the refit of the R/V Roger Revell, which will now have the most sophisticated underwater mapping capabilities in the U.S. Academic Research Fleet.

Please stop using “third world countries” to describe nations that are struggling in large part due to white supremacy, imperialism and colonialism. Let’s not use the phrase, period.

A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior. Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land. I am honored and ready to serve.

So thrilled that Haunani Kane will join GDCS as an assistant professor. Dr. Kane's extensive knowledge in climate science & her unique background in traditional Hawaiian practice & navigation will bring a fresh perspective to GDCS & enrichen our program: bit.ly/38LyzV6

We are so fortunate to have Rachel Chen in the lab. Kudos to her hard work, positive energy, and smarts in the classroom, the lab, and at sea. Read more in this undergraduate student spotlight by Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Although it looks like a flimsy plastic bag, the medusa Deepstaria can use passive envelopment to subdue hardy prey, including a surprisingly large squid! Unfortunately, we also found a discarded plastic bag at 1700m depth, mimicking a jelly... (@mbari_news)

Multiple Guinness World Records. A tv spot with NBA star Stephen Curry. A Bee finalist. What would be highlights for most will likely just be footnotes in the life of #Speller133 Zaila Avant-garde. This WNBA and NASA scientist hopeful has big plans. #SpellingBee #TheBeeIsBack

I don’t talk about this often with those outside of my family. But the Olympics have brought surfing onto the “world stage.” So let’s just say it: professional surfing is built on a culture of exploiting Native Hawaiians. 🧵 hawaiipublicradio.org/local-news/202…

Scholars from University of Hawaii at Hilo and University of Hawaii at Manoa are part of a hui (group) of Native Hawaiian researchers that departed from Kāneʻohe Bay on July 31 to begin a 15-day scientific research voyage to the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument ➡️ bit.ly/3Ceorkx

Hot off the press!! 👇🏼 We looked at #microplastics in the #deepsea #foodweb of Monterey Bay. What did we learn? 1) MPs were prevalent at each #trophiclevel 2) #trophictransfer is likely not happening here 3) body size matters 1/4 MBARI doi.org/10.3354/meps13…

Hard work, boundless energy, smarts, and fun -- the stuff oceanographers are made of. The future is in really good hands! Thanks to Alyson Santoro and Phoebe Lam for an awesome cruise. Shout out to the R/V Roger Revelle crew, Ben Frable 🐟, Scripps Institution of Oceanography and National Geographic for your support.

Wish you could convert particle concentrations to fluxes? New *open access* paper published today in GBC led by Ocean shows you how on a series of recent @GEOTRACES cruises! doi.org/10.1029/2021GB…

I want to say a little more about this piece, and how I’ve been thinking about my work and journalistic responsibilities over the last 6 months. 1/

How we think about life in the deep ocean depends on the tools we use to view it. Using three different survey methods we found dramatically divergent pictures of deep-sea communities — and the most commonly used method doesn't sample jellies effectively. bit.ly/deep-views

How many fish are in the sea? 🐟 A new paper shows how hard it can be to estimate. Researchers at Scripps Oceanography, MBARI, and The Evergreen State College compared three deep-ocean marine life sampling methods. Photo: Steve Haddock/MBARI
