Dear deep-ocean colleagues, students, and community members,
DOSI and DSBS are pleased to announce that the call for submissions for Deep-Sea Life issue 23 (August 2024) is now open! We are so looking forward to reading about your work and events over the last 6 months, as well as plans that you have for next year and beyond. This issue’s submission deadline is Friday, August 2nd, 2024.
For those who have just recently joined the DOSI mailing list, Deep-Sea Life is a key biannual publication that helps the deep-ocean research and professional community stay up to date with exciting developments in our field. For examples of the kind of content we include, you can read the February 2024 issue of Deep-Sea Life here.
Here are the sections requiring your contributions:
- Photo of the issue (the winning entry will adorn the front page)
- Cruise News
- Project Focus (an on-going project or new venture)
- Meeting and workshop reports and announcements
- It’s your opinion
- Scientist profiles (open to all, not just students!)
- Opportunities (cruise berths, jobs, training opportunities, funding options etc.)
- Wanted section (specimens, equipment, etc.)
- Obituaries
- Hot off the Press (new papers published over the past few months)
Submission Guidelines:
- ~250 words or ~500 words for longer pieces (so they fit nicely onto the page!)- we like short and punchy!
Please send any relevant images as separate files.
Include any relevant web and/or email address for readers to contact you.
Please submit text (with a photo as a separate file) for the scientist profile section – this section may help students find a postdoc in the future.
We have endeavoured to make the DOSI circulation list as far-reaching as possible, but of course we will not have found everyone. Please do circulate this to your colleagues so they can both share content through Deep Sea Life and participate in DOSI should they wish to do so (they can sign up here).
We hope to have representation in the newsletter from around the world, so please do contribute. Thank you for helping to keep this global community connected!
With kind regards,
Your DSL editorial team
Maria Baker, Abi Pattenden, Eva Ramirez-Llodra, Michelle Taylor, Bhavani Narayanaswamy and Franck Lejzerowicz
