FROM THE TOS PRESIDENT
Paula Bontempi
Recently I had the privilege to attend a symposium at an oceanographic institution where a very brave and wonderful group of students led a panel discussion on being an ocean, Earth, atmospheric science student at this moment. The students provided their hopes and concerns at a time when they entered graduate studies within or soon following the global novel coronavirus pandemic, an unprecedented moment in history. Many are finishing at a time of what they see as chaos in the world. I have heard from students within my own institution and beyond that they are deeply concerned about Earth’s climate crisis, would like to engage with the public on behalf of science, wish to push politics out of science, and truly question their employment prospects. Many students express a deep sense that they lack control about what happens next in their lives or in the world. In response to the students’ honesty at this symposium was a rousing chorus of cheers from the early, mid, and senior career attendees in the room, suggesting both an appreciation for their willingness to speak up and a resonance of the ideas across generations. But what happens next? > READ MORE
