Opinion | Why U.S. dominance at sea is shrinking The U.S. still has an advantage on the waves, but ocean science needs more β€” not less β€” investment.

Aquatic sciences are central to humanities well being. This piece stresses military dependence on scientific knowledge and there is so much more. Avoidance of loss of life on D-Day was new to me, as was the involvement of Walter Munk!

Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.

Women make up only 16% of corresponding authors who submit to Nature, a new Springer Nature analysis revealed. This is not enough - there are 30-40% #womeninSTEM

We want to change it, through targeted editorial policies & outreach. But change will take everyone!
