Good evening, 

Join the education sessions at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2022 in Honolulu (Feb. 27-Mar. 3) and submit your abstract! The abstract deadline is tomorrow, Wed. Sept. 29th at midnight EDT. There are several interesting education sessions. Formats include oral sessions, poster sessions, and the "6-5-30" format which consists of six 5-minute talks followed by 30 minutes of discussion. See below for brief descriptions of some of the sessions(See here for a link to education sessions.)

  • Safety in Ocean Field Science: Prevention and Improved Response for Sexual and Gender HarassmentThe session will include presentations by representatives from the ocean sciences community, who attended the Fall 2021 workshop and who set and enforce policies at coastal field stations, marine labs, and research vessels on how they are implementing the workshop findings. Discussion will follow centered around institutional and individual adoption of the best practices presented.
  • Addressing Barriers to Minoritized Scholars Entering Internship, Fellowship, and Graduate Programs in the Ocean Sciences - In this session, presenters will identify and focus on barriers to entry to underrepresented scholars, and share approaches for creating more equitable processes and developing inclusive cultures where all can thrive.
  • Fostering the Development of Collaborative Scientists, Projects, and Environments in Research Internships, Graduate Programs, and the WorkforceIn this session, presenters will share effective strategies for developing and running collaborative programs or projects that require interdependence between team members and between teams in research labs, graduate programs, and other settings. 
  • Enabling Remote Ocean Science and Educational Opportunities, Lessons Learned During a Global Pandemic and Benefits for the Future - This session will encourage discussion of how remote opportunities can enable more equitable access to participation in ocean science and education to foster an ocean-literate generation through dynamic spaces created from formal and informal learning environments. 
  • Enabling Remote Ocean Science and Educational Opportunities, Lessons Learned During a Global Pandemic and Benefits for the Future
  • Student Symposium - This session is sponsored by the ASLO Multicultural Program. It provides undergraduate and beginning graduate students an opportunity to present their work in an oral session with a friendly and supportive audience.
  • Undergraduate Research in Marine and Aquatic Science - Undergraduates who have conducted research are invited to present their results in this session that will highlight the wide variety of student research and provide opportunity for interested faculty to discuss your project with you. Students who have participated in REU programs are particularly invited to submit to this session. Students are not limited to this session, and we encourage any undergraduate student who wishes to submit an abstract to a specialized science session in the subject of her/his research to consider that option as well.
