This is Ocean Voices - The Voice of Early Career Researchers in Marine Sciences More info
This blog post was inspired by the books “Forces of Nature – The Women who Changed Science” by Anna Reser and Leila McNeill and “Women in Science – 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World“ by Rachel Ignotofsky. Both shed light on a wide variety of women in science and their contributions. Here, I was […]
November 2023, I am standing on the big stage in “die Pumpe” an event centre in Kiel. In front of me, there are about 200-250 people, the seats are all occupied and a bunch of people are standing. They are willing to stand for two hours to experience young scientists explaining their research in an […]
Being a scientist involves more than just doing experiments, analyzing problems or sitting in front of the computer, staring at data – it’s also about connecting with other scientists and communicating our work. At OceanVoices, we’re all about creating a space for young ocean researchers to share their experiences and scientific ideas and give them […]
Hello dear readers! We are Rania and Mélanie, two 21 year old students studying geophysics at l’École et l’Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre in Strasbourg, France. We took our first step into the world of internships this summer at GEOMAR and we’re happy to share this experience with you! Strasbourg being far from any […]
‘What we know is a drop, what we do not know is an ocean.’ – Isaac Newton. Marine science and art together – can that work at all? And what exactly is supposed to come out of it? With these questions in mind and a portion of scepticism, this spring I was on my way […]

„How to move from academia to industry (or to the private sector)?” is a question, that I often hear since I started my doctoral thesis. But before, my question was rather “How do I move from industry to academia?”. In fact, after my studies in geosciences and mining engineering, I didn’t want to engage myself […]
Youth nowadays is harder than most people would expect. To be fair not as hard as it was hundreds of years ago or even in the beginning of the 20th century. But exactly that is part of the problem. I mean who really knows what it’s like to grow up with all this rapid development […]
This year a small group of passionate Doctorate Researchers (DRs) had a big role to fulfill, you may call us the DokTeam. After a long time living with Corona, a long time only knowing people from zoom meetings, a long time being at home alone, we had to make the PhD Great Again! We started […]
Welcome to the “Ocean Voices” blog series run by doctoral and non-permanent postdoctoral researchers at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Germany. Thanks for dropping by! We’ve been looking forward to getting this blog running for a while, and are excited to finally get it going with our first post. As our first post, […]
