📢A MegaMove milestone has just been published in Science Magazine! With ~380 collaborators from 50 countries, we mapped the movements of 12k+ marine megafauna to identify key habitats 🌊🐋🦈 Pew Environment MegaMove Ecology&EvolutionANU UWA Oceans Institute sequeiralab.com/news/megamove-…

Contributions from 380 collaborating scientists from across the world to bring you these important findings. Here is a map of the total number of 12,794 individual track locations in the global dataset at 1° resolution showing the global coverage of 71.7% of the global ocean.

During recent Antarctic expeditions, scientists examined seafloor features carved by glaciers & revealed glimpses of the intricate ecosystems living at the interface between ice & sea. Penguins, footage & wonder filmed by Alex Ingle #SouthSandwichIslands, 2025.

Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) plays a critical role in global ocean circulation and regulating climate by storing heat and carbon. Important new insight into how the resolution of ocean-sea ice models impacts the simulation of AABW, improving accuracy ⬇️ agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

It has been 14 years since rinderpest was eradicated — only the second disease in history, after smallpox, to be eradicated globally. A landmark in animal health, made possible by global collaboration. Let’s keep building a healthier, more resilient future!

Great example of the value of real time reporting

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall. You taught us that kindness is a form of strength and that respect for life in all its forms is the truest measure of humanity. You will be dearly missed. 💔

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: scim.ag/4lbz9Pa
