Trials & Tribulations of International Travel during the COVID-19 Pandemic

July 26, 2021 / LOREX /

Hope for Online Collaborations!

May 12, 2021 / LOREX, Science and Society

This last year has not been the best. If anything, that’s a total understatement. But at least it may have been the best time to start a program like LOREX with ASLO. Because the program is aimed at cultivating and developing international collaborations, LOREX was like having a cheat introduction on how to move your research online. Just before the pandemic struck and we were all forced to be remote, …

#BlackinMarineScience Week

November 24, 2020 / Science and Society

By Camille Gaynus The lack of diversity in STEM fields does not exist because of uninterest, but rather exclusionary barriers. The barriers that exclude Black people from science develop early. High drop off rates at each academic benchmark leave few Black scientist in leadership positions. The field of Marine Science only exemplifies the stats. Even though Black people make up about 13% of the US population, only ~1% of doctorates …

Introducing the Handbook for International Research Collaborations

August 10, 2020 / Announcements, LOREX

By Eilea Knotts  ASLO recently began the LOREX program (an NSF-funded initiative, award #1831075, 2019-2021) where ~30 students can be selected to undergo professional development training and participate in a self-led international collaboration. I was a member of the 1st cohort in 2019.   After the summer collaboration, I thought that it might be the end of my training. I checked off the boxes – completed the workshops (check), attended the conferences (check), and shared my experiences with the next cohort (check). I figured that I had …
