After spending the past five months working around Hawaii, R/V Sikuliaq is on its way home. During its 10-day transit from Honolulu to Seward, Alaska, Sikuliaq is hosting a cyber training cruise and a cohort of @STEMSEAS undergraduate students. 📷 Julian Race

We're at #AGU24! Check out our art exhibit and step inside the inflatable JOIDES Resolution in the registration area, then swing by Booth 1128 in the exhibit hall for info and swag!

Did you know that the summer solstice is an important marker for predicting fall leaf peeping? @AlexDainis explains how warming before the solstice can lead to a longer fall leaf season, whereas warming after the solstice results in a shorter period of colorful autumn leaves. #SummerSolstice #AutumnLeaves #LeafPeeping #ClimateChange

Did you know chinchillas bathe themselves in dust to keep clean? Chinchillas have one of the densest fur coats among land mammals, which protects them from the harsh Andes Mountains. They bathe in dust to keep their coats clean and free from infections caused by moisture. #SafeChinchilla #WeAreAZA #SavingSpecies #Chinchillas #Conservation

@Jeopardy did you just show footage from our ship in your “The Ocean” category? Seems to have shown our bosun.

I’m sailing into a sea of discovery with @STEMSEAS! 🌊🔬 Today, I had the incredible opportunity to step aboard the Research Vessel Thompson, a vessel at the forefront of oceanic research. This isn’t just any maritime journey; it’s an educational odyssey offered by the STEMseas program for community college faculty so that we can give future undergrad students a real taste of marine science and life at sea. Aboard the R/V Thompson, science comes to life in the most dynamic classroom you can imagine. From deploying subsea instruments to collecting oceanographic data, every moment is an opportunity to dive deep into hands-on learning. The #STEMseas initiative is bridging the gap between textbooks and the tides, cultivating the next wave of oceanographers, engineers, and marine biologists. This vessel isn’t just carrying researchers across the waves; it’s carrying ideas, dreams, and the future of science. Stay tuned as I share more from this voyage of knowledge and discovery! #STEMseas2YC #NSF #RVThompson #Oceanography #MarineScience #FieldExperience #ScienceAtSea #FutureScientists #AdventureArt
