We've looked at DNA and Barcoding, naturally it's time to over-explain what exactly it means to be a SPECIES: https://t.co/8ZKovhntk9

@armabwa at #WIOMSA2022 - If the info we're gathering isn't getting to the people who need it, those people are being left behind. Why even do it?
Stories move people. Communicate research with stories that carry people forward and don't leave them behind.
#SDGs #NoOneLeftBehind

[Luther Adams @LutherAddams]

"Science communication should not be a tickbox exercise at the end of our research projects..." @armabwa. This hit where it hurts the most but also kindled embers of excitement to share complex science simply.

[WIOMSA @wiomsa]

Dr. Nelly Kadagi @billfishExpert delivers a compelling keynote touching on #leadership in the ocean space needing to be inclusive of early career researchers and professionals, coastal community voices, and strong legacies in the #WIO #WIOMSA2022

[Luther Adams @LutherAddams]

As biologists we hardly associate bling bling and ching ching when we think about our big blue waters. An informative keynote by @BleischwitzR. What is the Blue Economy and what does it mean to you? Share your thoughts in the comments below. #WIOMSA2022 @wiomsa #blueeconomy

[SAIAB @NRF_SAIAB]

@NRF_SAIAB is at the 12th @wiomsa Scientific Symposium and has set up an exhibition to promote the Coastal Fishes of the Western Indian Ocean from 10-15 October 2022, in Gqeberha/ Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

[Luther Adams @LutherAddams]

More than 800 great minds getting together at #WIOMSA2022 to share and communicate their research over the past few years. We're crossing multiple geographic, cultural and intellectual boundaries as a united front to push the boundaries of African marine science.

Today commemorates the 45th anniversary of the Soweto uprising on 16 June 1976.

In our latest blog Semane Mbewu (@smallsemane) reflects on #YouthDay, the lack of a single historical perspective and how we decide what this historical days mean to us

@socialseas @NathanJBennett @_JessicaBlythe @Carolewhy @PolicyMarine @UBCoceans @TBTInetwork @IUCN_CEESP @BlueCommunities @OceanCanada @thepeopledseas @GEJGroup_UEA @BrockUESRC @MarSocSci @MAREcentre Sadly, this is not surprising. It is actually the norm in most majority worlds to have blue economy profit large (mostly foreign) institutions and individuals.

Challenges of the new year: cancelling research trips and activating all contingencies. How has lockdown affected your work plans for this year?

@SciSuperheroes have turned their awesome superheroes into a whole 2021 calendar 😍 get your kids a copy, get yourself a copy, donate a copy! #sciencetwitter #scicomm #WomenInSTEM #Africa

[SuperScientists @SciSuperheroes]

Our calendar cover! 5000 copies printing tomorrow! We're hoping sales of some can offset free distibution of others. Advice on ecommerce in SA? Shopstar vs. Shopify?? #steminafricacalendar

Last week we had the incredible opportunity to be part of the @newfcongress 2020 which was held in the virtual world. SO much fun learning to interact with avatars, meeting new people, selfie-ing with friends and watching the amazing films and pitches. #communityreimagined

[argonautscience @argonautscience]

One of our favourite things to do is to give our participants and underwater camera and see what happens. Amazing how each kid has a different interest..some love the animals, some go for texture or landscapes, others go for the humans. #CitizenScience #photoshoot #SouthAfrica

[9Miles Project @9MilesProject]

What an awesome pic taken by our kids!

The Knobbly Anemone (Bunodosoma capense) as seen and captured by none other than 'The Anemones' group on our last trip with @argonautscience & @thebeachco_op .

[argonautscience @argonautscience]

So excited to be joining @newfcongress next week & so grateful for the invite 😍 not only will the content itself be mind-blowing (we can feel it in our bones) but the VR attendance is certainly a new experience for us. Yay #technology! #VirtualReality #FilmTwitter #community

[NEWF @newfafrica]

📣 We're getting ready for you! Checkout the #NEWF2020 team in our amphitheatre where most panel discussions will be taking place! There's so much more to experience...Can you guess who's in this pic? Tag us below 😊
