"… Goodall’s … is a story of genuine scientific curiosity, determination, and respect for nature and humanity …" H. Holden Thorp, Editor-in-chief, Science journals

Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91.

In 2020, Goodall spoke with Science Editor-in-Chief H. Holden Thorp for a #ScienceEditorial reflecting on the 60th anniversary of her arrival in Gombe to study wild chimpanzees. Read more: https://scim.ag/472Chb8

Before altering the air, microbes oxygenated large swaths of the sea Hundreds of millions of years before oxygen surged in the atmosphere 2.4 billion years ago, swaths of oxygen winked in and out of existence in the ocean.

Already at the midpoint of the oceanographic campaign TN‑445 in the Bay of Bengal! ⛴️🌏

Despite adverse weather conditions, I’ve had the opportunity to carry out onboard experiments to analyze the response of marine phytoplankton in hypoxic environments.

¡Ya en el ecuador de la campaña oceanográfica TN-445 en la bahía de Bengala! ⛴️🌏

A pesar de las condiciones meteorológicas adversas, he tenido la oportunidad de realizar experimentos a bordo para analizar la respuesta del fitoplancton marino en ambientes hipóxicos.

Excited to take part in the TN-445 oceanographic cruise in the Bay of Bengal aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson from the University of Washington. My goal during this campaign is to study the physiology of phytoplankton in this region of the Indian Ocean. 🌏
