Rodríguez-Cardona, Rebecca Gladstone-Gallagher, Pascal Bodmer, Raquel F. Flynn, Mina Bizic","doi":"10.1002/lob.10705","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/lob.10705","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The Early Career Committee (ECC) of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) calls for amplified acknowledgment and embrace of neurodiverse individuals in aquatic sciences. We advocate for a transformative shift, urging the broader scientific community to recognize and embrace the unique approaches, abilities, and well-being of each researcher. Despite increased attention to demographic heterogeneity, neurodiversity remains an underexplored aspect of society, particularly in scientific disciplines. The neurodiversity paradigm reframes cognitive differences as assets rather than deficits, emphasizing the strengths, specialized skills, and high-performance potential of neurodivergent individuals in science (Jaarsma and Welin <span>2011</span>; Lefevre-Levy et al. <span>2023</span>). This approach aligns with the broader views of cognitive variances as essential components of human diversity, resilience, and social collaboration (Goldberg <span>2023</span>), akin to the role of biodiversity in ecosystem functioning and resilience. This paper advocates for systemic reforms to enhance the careers and experiences in aquatic sciences, thereby enriching the discipline by incorporating a wider array of perspectives and talent.</p><p>Neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), often exhibit unique cognitive strengths beneficial for data-intensive research (Goldberg <span>2023</span>; Sikimić <span>2023</span>). Their keen attention to detail enables them to identify subtle patterns and anomalies, which is vital for analyzing complex datasets and detecting gradual changes (Wilson et al. <span>2023</span>). Additionally, their meticulousness, sustained focus, and creative problem-solving boost reliability and innovative outcomes. In aquatic sciences, where interdisciplinary approaches are crucial, these attributes are highly significant but often overlooked. Estimates suggest that only 5% of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) undergraduates and 0.9% of senior academics in the UK disclose their neurodivergent conditions (Wilson et al. <span>2023</span>). In contrast, nearly 17% of the US workforce may be neurodivergent (Lefevre-Levy et al. <span>2023</span>). In geosciences, preliminary calculations indicate that 2–3 of every 150 students may be autistic (Kingsbury et al. <span>2020</span>). However, comparable data for aquatic sciences is lacking.</p><p>Neurodivergent underrepresentation is exacerbated by structural barriers. Traditional metrics of success in academia, such as publication rates, conference networking skills, and grant acquisition, are often shaped by neurotypical norms. Hence, these metrics may not capture the contributions of neurodivergent scientists, at least not without adequate support (Cosentino and Souviron-Priego <span>2021</span>), such as written/recorded instructions, time flexibility, and an uninterrupted workflow.

It is dedicated to promoting, developing, and communicating the integrated and interdisciplinary marine scientific research required by society for securing or transitioning towards ocean sustainability under global change (Hofmann and The IMBeR Scientific Steering Committee <span>2016</span>). IMBeR, internationally co-sponsored by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) of the International Science Council (ISC) and Future Earth (FE), is nearing the culmination of its decade-long journey from 2016 to 2025. At this pivotal transition, we invite all IMBeR participants and the broader community to appraise the decadal activities and collaboratively launch a new project to succeed IMBeR. A notable event at this point is the IMBeR Synthesis and Future Planning Conference (Future Oceans 3, FO3, 13–16 May 2025, Shanghai & online, https://imber.info/event/fo3) featuring Looking Inward, Looking Outward, and Looking Forward.</p><p>IMBeR research is primarily carried out through regional programs, working groups, study groups, and endorsed projects (Fig. 1). These science teams have covered critical oceanic regions and the heavily utilized continental margins. They have also addressed a range of challenging thematic issues, such as the effects of climate change. These diverse science teams are featured at FO3, and their synthesis abstracts will be archived on the IMBeR website for a wider community.</p><p>Any marine scientific research to address the inherently complex oceanic processes must be vigilant about developments in other scientific research to contribute to holistic Earth System views. It is, therefore, essential to collaborate with other international projects, programs, and international bodies. IMBeR has benefited from such collaborations. One of the outcomes from FO3 is the identification of emerging scientific research challenges across relevant international projects and networks, the evaluation of novel partnership strategies, and the exploration of future collaborations. Reflecting on the ISC Muscat Global Knowledge Dialogue, IMBeR will continue to work closely with representatives from the Global Research Projects of SCOR, the Global Research Networks of Future Earth, the international initiatives of the UN Ocean Decade family, and other relevant partners to develop comprehensive views.</p><p>FO3 also launches the IMBeR Marine Biosphere Doctoral Forum (IMBDF) within its framework, thanks to generous support from SCOR, to bring together recent and soon-to-be PhD graduates in marine biology and marine biogeochemistry to showcase their dissertation research to their professional peers and potential international collaborators. IMBeR particularly encourages new PhD degree holders from low- to medium-income countries to use the IMBDF for networking and professional development.

Dias, Ignacio Gianelli, Mia Strand, Shenghui Li, Gabriella Akpah Yeboah","doi":"10.1002/lob.10704","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/lob.10704","url":null,"abstract":"<p>The Interdisciplinary Marine Early Career Network (IMECaN) (https://imber.info/imecan-interdisciplinary-marine-early-career-network/, assessed March 2025) was established in 2016 as an initiative of early career researchers (ECRs) participating in the Integrated Marine Biosphere Research (IMBeR, https://imber.info/, assessed March 2025) summer school, <i>ClimEco</i> (Cvitanovic et al., <span>2024</span>). At that time, a group of ECRs identified the need for a platform where they could both develop collaborations and exchange training and opportunities within the relatively new field of interdisciplinary marine science. With the endorsement of IMBeR's Scientific Steering Committee, IMECaN has since become a vital platform for fostering collaboration, professional development, and leadership opportunities for ECRs within and beyond IMBeR. Here, we share what IMECaN is, including its structure and operations. Additionally, we highlight key achievements of the network over the past eight years and present membership statistics. We finish by looking forward, and highlighting how we see IMECaN developing in the near future.</p><p>IMECaN is directly associated with IMBeR, a large global research project dedicated to promoting, developing, and communicating marine scientific research (see Fang et al. <span>in review</span>). Thus, the network's objectives are in alignment with the IMBeR Grand Challenges, which focus on interdisciplinary marine research to address pressing ocean-related issues. Specifically, the network provides: (i) a platform for early career marine researchers to develop collaborations, (ii) training and development in areas not traditionally covered through formal education and training programs, and (iii) leadership opportunities for early career marine researchers, particularly from the Global Majority.</p><p>To keep the network on track to fulfill its objectives, an Organizing Committee consisting of up to 12 members was established, with one to three members serving as co-chairs. Committee members, including a member who also acts as the direct IMBeR liaison, voluntarily serve for up to three years, after which a call for new members is opened. Anyone can be part of the Organizing Committee, as long as they meet IMECaN's ECR terms of reference (i.e., an individual who graduated from their highest academic degree less than eight years prior, excluding career leaves for family care or health-related reasons).1 Members of the IMECaN Organizing Committee typically represent and span diverse regions, including the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. This global representation ensures a broad spectrum of perspectives and expertise, enriching the network's ability to address complex marine challenges. Currently, the Organizing Committee members are from Brazil, China, Fiji, Ghana, Mexico, Norway, Spain, and Uruguay, with some based abroad in countries such as South Africa, Sweden, and the United States.

I don't remember many of the entries, but one was an animation about a baby fish and how its ability to find habitat can be disrupted by ocean acidification. This animation was created by Dr. Tullio Rossi, whose interest in both science and communication subsequently led him to begin Animate Your Science, an agency to help researchers better share their work with the world. It has been amazing to watch the growth and development of Animate Your Science in the years since. They create scientific animations and graphics for researchers, run training sessions (both online and in person), and create free online content of value to researchers (all of which you can explore here: https://www.animateyour.science/).</p><p>To get a sense of the experience from his perspective, I sat down with Tullio to ask him about how he made the transition from PhD researcher to start-up founder, what it actually involves, and the things he wishes he had known from the start of this journey.</p><p><b>L.F.: Can you introduce your background and the position that you are currently in?</b></p><p>T.R.: I have a background in marine biology and graphic design, and it was during my PhD at the University of Adelaide that I really began to appreciate the power of communication. My research focused on the effects of ocean acidification on marine animals, but I quickly realized that the real challenge was not just uncovering new knowledge—it was making sure that knowledge reached the right people. Since my research did not have a direct commercial application, its impact depended entirely on how well I could communicate it.</p><p>That realization led me to bring together my two worlds—science and design. Around the same time, I became fascinated with storytelling and science communication, and everything clicked when I created my first animation (https://youtu.be/g3cIr9RomPM?si=YoDQoXX-XwOn3OHi) about my PhD research. The response was incredible, and that experience set the stage for the next chapter of my career. I saw that many other researchers struggled with communication, and I knew I could help.</p><p>So, in 2017, I founded Animate Your Science, a science communication agency dedicated to helping researchers and institutions share their work visually—with impact. Since then, I've been leading the agency as its director, working with an amazing team to make research more engaging and accessible to audiences worldwide.
