Addressing advances in pursuit of restoring the spectacular biodiversity of coral reefs, we are excited to announce a Call for Papers for a new Special Issue – “The State of Active Coral Reef Conservation and...
Every scientist transitions through the initial phases of their career as an early career researcher. It is a challenging career phase, marked by numerous transitions, short term contracts and a lot of uncertainty. In...
Navigating the winding, complicated, uncertain path through science can be stressful even for seasoned scientists, and often completely overwhelming for early career researchers. A useful method to provide a roadmap for this path...
The Alaska Marine Science Symposium (AMSS), Alaska’s premier marine research conference, has been bringing together scientists, educators, resource managers, students, and interested public for over twenty years to discuss the latest marine research being...
As part of PeerJ’s Author Interview Series we’re revisiting popular and impactful articles from the first half of the year to take a look inside the research process. One paper that sparked social comment...
