FROM THE TOS PRESIDENT
Paula Bontempi
Over the course of the last nine months, many of the ocean and science-facing Presidents and President-elects have been talking about the future of STEM in the world. I have found these discussions very enlightening. They often lead to coordinated strategies for justifying continued investment in science and technology while also crafting new science program concepts and novel partnerships. One issue many of the Presidents and leaders have been discussing is the value of being a professional society member. > READ MORE
