Out now: 1st call for Synthesis Working Groups by "The Ocean Floor – Earth’s Uncharted Interface". We bring cluster members & external experts together to address key scientific questions in ocean floor research 🧪👉 theoceanfloor.de/en/The-Ocean... @marumunibremen.bsky.social @icbm-uol.bsky.social

A new study led by Cooper Malanoski and Erin Saupe has shown that the shape and orientation of coastlines significantly influenced extinction patterns for animals living in the shallow oceans during the last 540 million years. @eesaupe.bsky.social @mplsoxford.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk buff.ly/2Np5CNR

Fossils reveal ‘latitudinal traps’ that increased extinction risk for marine species

The researchers analysed over 300,000 fossils for over 12,000 genera of marine invertebrates, combining these with reconstructions of continental arrangements at different times in the past. This enabled them to run a powerful statistical model to test the hypothesis that the orientation and shape of a coastline influenced a taxon’s chance of extinction.

'No one will judge you for asking what feels like a stupid question.' For #IDWGS2025, the Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences Division asked scientists from across the faculty about the advice they wish they had received at the beginning of their careers ⬇️

Prof Dame Alison Etheridge: 'In spite of appearances, everyone is insecure and no-one will judge you for asking what feels like a stupid question. Most people in the room probably wanted to ask the same thing but were too embarrassed - asking will win you many friends!'Prof Erin Saupe: I wish I would have realised sooner that it's OK to be wrong in science, and that admitting you were wrong is a strength, not a weakness. Science should be about testing your assumptions and re-thinking paradigms, not just 'getting things right'.Prof Daniela Bortoletto: 'That it's okay to say no and set boundaries. You don't need to feel obligated to take on every task, especially those disproportionately assigned to women. Focus on roles that support your scientific and professional growth.'Prof Tamsin Mather: 'A career is a marathon not a sprint and there will be times things feel better than others or where life has priority. Be patient when things feel tough. Taking time off is so important, not just because work isn't everything, but to stay creative. I've had my best ideas on my bike, kayak, or up a mountain!'
