Join us as we crowdfund for an inspiring mini-doc series! 🌊 Help us showcase the remarkable work of female marine scientists protecting the British coastline. Together, let's inspire the next generation in marine science & promote greater representation avivacommunityfund.co.uk/p/seeing-is-be…

There is no scientist whose science is so uniquely, irreplaceable brilliant that it is worth putting up with their abuse, harassment, toxic work environment, and/or racism.

The scientific output of all the people they push out of science would have been greater.

Students are the next gen of voices + minds for the ocean.. Excited to open up the floor to the next cohort of Women in Ocean Science uni ambassadors: womeninoceanscience.com/ambassador-app…

Audience question on why the gender panel does not include more women, nor young women (and rightly so). It appears many side events have been combined into one - raising Qs on how we can retain integrity of female empowerment conversations without just 'ticking the gender box'?

Challenging words from PM of #Belize : the selfish acts of a few cannot undermine the prosperity & survival of us all. Mother Earth is the strongest voice of all, and she has many more votes & a much longer memory than any of us. #UNOceanConference2022
