I wrote something about creativity in science. Why would one write such a thing? That's the first question the piece addresses. There's general reasons, and then there's my current weird personal quest... deepconvection.substack.com/p/creativity...
Because we usually don't, and we aren't good at teaching it either.
Sadly, widespread cultivation of seaweed is unlikely to be a major carbon removal / climate solution.
Here's a recent analysis.

Abstract. The large-scale cultivation of macroalgae has been proposed as a marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) strategy, yet its efficiency and consequences for ocean biogeochemistry remain uncertain...

🌊 Registration is due to launch very soon - we hope to see you there!
Don't forget that there are reduced rates for Challenger members - got any questions about Challenger membership please drop me a line 😊
It will be my first visit back to Bangor since I graduated in 2014 12(!) years ago! 😮
🌊Please share! We invite you to take part in a research survey led by the BIO-Carbon Early Career Ocean Professionals Network (bio-carbon.ac.uk), exploring how ocean carbon–related samples and datasets are collected, managed, and shared across the community.

This work is motivated by the growing need to better understand data availability in the context of net zero, climate change, and the environmental cost of data collection. While the study is led by ECRs, it is intended for participation from researchers at all career stages globally.
By completing this survey, you will contribute to a community-wide assessment of data accessibility. Findings will be shared via a summary report, and a potential peer-reviewed publication, and could help to inform future funding calls and priorities across the field.
We would also greatly appreciate it if you could share this survey with colleagues, collaborators, and relevant networks to help us reach a broad, global and representative group. We recognise how busy everyone is and greatly appreciate your time.
The survey aims to identify current practices, challenges, and opportunities related to sample and data management, and to better understand what could facilitate sharing of currently unpublished data.
⏱️ Time required: ~15–20 minutes
📅 Deadline: 15 July 2026
