In 1970, women scientists accepted for Tektite II were grouped into an all-female aquanaut team because "Americans were not ready for men and women to co-habitate underwater". There is still #MeToo going on, but progress has been made in terms of women participation in science.
A #MITWomeninScience first: Katheryn Burns was the first woman with a PhD from the joint @WHOI-MIT program in 1975. She persevered with her study on a 1969 local oil spill though her presence on boats was often debated. @eapsMIT@MITBiology#WomensHistoryMonth

At Scripps (SIO) back in 1967, female grad students were not allowed to participate in the summer CALCOFI cruises (great paying, summer internships many of our male cohorts went on) because we would be "disruptive to the crew".

@1a Anyone but Bernie. I blame his attacks and misrepresentation of Hillary Clinton and poorly thought-out unrealistic promises for dividing the progressive voters and getting Donald Trump elected. He should but out before he does more damage.
CISME being put to great use for coral restoration in the Florida Keys. Can't wait to see their data. They will be following coral out plants over the next year with CISME. I live it that Kate told me they were going out to "kiss the baby corals".
New CISME Instruments video on YouTube produced in partnership with Ragland Media during the 2018 Cucalorus Film Festival uses comedy to highlight the plight of coral health and the value of CISME as a diagnostic tool for assessing coral vital signs. https://t.co/Un1cQML0aV
@lilangel10823 @Yahoo I think the West Point cadets responsible for Aurora's injuries should be court marshalled and dishonorably discharged from West Point and blocked from any possible enrollment in the US Army.
Or chaine to a large barracks latrines for 5 years.
Glad to see that CISME can be used for such a diversity of research questions. When we designed it we were specifically interested in its use for climate change issues.
@Ocean_Agency @Scripps_Ocean Nice work. But there is 100 years+ of published research showing that has been largely ignored by the symbiosis fans. Aquarists know the critical importance of feeding their corals. There are review papers on this.
