Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> [This email originated from outside of OSU. Use caution with links and attachments.] Hi Khrystal, I am an OSU BEE alumnus. I don't know if you recall me reaching out two years ago, but the Sustainable Stormwater Symposium is back again this year. I know it is close to the end of the year, so I would appreciate any help I can get getting the word out quickly to students. The symposium is holding a student poster showcase with scholarship prizes. It would be great to get some BEE students involved this year. I inserted some information about the Symposium and the showcase below. Let me know if you have any questions. The 2025 Sustainable Stormwater Symposium hosted by the Oregon Section of ASCE-EWRG presents the second annual Student Poster Showcase. The Symposium will be held at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) on September 16th-17th of 2025 in Portland, OR. The purpose of the Symposium is to provide an elevated understanding of current sustainable stormwater planning, design, and implementation approaches. The poster showcase will be featured at the happy hour at OMSI on the first afternoon of the symposium. The student posters will be assessed for a chance to win one of three scholarships for up to $2,500. See the attached Student Poster Showcase announcement for more details. If someone in the department is interested in submitting an oral presentation or presenting a poster as a non-student, see the attached Call for Abstracts. For additional information on the Symposium, invited speaker announcements, or general questions, please visit the Symposium website at https://www.oregonewrg.org/ewrg-symposium<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.orego…> or contact the program coordination team at program(a)stormwatersymposium.org<mailto:program@stormwatersymposium.org>.

Boyt, Found and CEO of Disabilities Within Ocean Sciences (DWOS) and Graduate Student in the Big Fish Lab Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: Breaking Barriers Below the Surface: Navigating Challenges and Solutions for Accessible Marine Science Though 1 in 4 people in the US and 20-25% of the global population are disabled, STEM fields- especially marine sciences- witness a substantial underrepresentation of disabled individuals; disabled individuals make up only 3% of those in STEM- 75% less than in any other industry. This disparity is largely due to inaccessibility, inadequate accommodations, and a prevalent culture of ableism in STEM. While recent efforts to foster inclusivity in the scientific community have made progress in some arenas, disabled marine scientists continue to be excluded from vital conversations and initiatives aimed at increasing representation. To truly change our field, it is crucial to identify and address the unique challenges faced by disabled scientists. In order to catalyze this change, OSU graduate student Reilly Boyt, founded Disabilities Within Ocean Sciences (DWOS), a non-profit organization aimed at providing a network and resources for disabled marine scientists and organizations interested in being more inclusive and accessible. Reilly will discuss how DWOS can help our community identify obstacles encountered by disabled scientists while proposing actionable solutions that labs, organizations and universities can take to increase representation and ensure that disabled scientists continue to be an integral part of the evolving scientific landscape. HMSC Research Seminar - A Century of Beachgrass Invasions and the Landscape Level Consequences for the US Pacific Northwest Coast<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, June 5 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Speaker: Sally Hacker, Professor, Department of Integrative Biology, Oregon State University Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: A century of beachgrass invasions and the landscape level consequences for the US Pacific Northwest coast Dunes form on low-lying coastal margins where sand transported by oceanic waves and wind combine with vegetation to produce these highly dynamic backshore structures. Here in the US Pacific Northwest, dunes cover nearly 50% of the coastline and feature the largest dune sheet in North America. A century ago, two non-native beachgrass species (European beachgrass Ammophila arenaria and American beachgrass Ammophila breviligulata) were intentionally planted on our coastline to stabilize the open, shifting sand environment. The result was a landscape-level transformation of the coast with consequences for coastal protection, carbon storage, recreation, and native species conservation. In this presentation, Dr. Hacker discusses the past, present, and future of US Pacific Northwest dunes, highlighting a suite of interdisciplinary field, laboratory, and modeling studies focused on the invasion and its consequences. She will also discuss attempts to restore dunes to their native state and a recently discovered "super beachgrass" species, formed from the hybridization of the two non-native grass species.

University Legislative Scholars
by Condon, Khrystal C 22 May '25

22 May '25

Hi All, A year ago I shared information about the University Legislative Scholars program - it's a great experiential learning opportunity for students of all majors to connect with public policy and the legislative process. David Rothwell, who works on family policy in College of Health, leads the program and is now building next year's cohort. Please see the attached document for some additional information - you can circulate it in your networks, but I think David is also open to your direct nominations of potential students for him to follow up with. Please reach out to him with any questions. Best, Steve -- Steven Wuhs, Ph.D. Associate Vice Provost for Academic Affairs Oregon State University steve.wuhs(a)oregonstate.edu<mailto:steve.wuhs@oregonstate.edu> he/él

First, we focus on links between the rapidly warming East Australian Current and the prevalence of Kudoa sp. infection in broadbill swordfish, leading to myoliquefaction ('jellymeat') of the flesh. By combining molecular techniques, microscopy, and dynamic spatiotemporal modeling, we developed predictions, forecasts and climate projections of high-risk areas within the fishery, to help minimize wastage and improve sustainability of the industry. Second, we focus on red abalone, by defining and mapping climate refugia within the California Current. By integrating measures of physiological stress in response to environmental conditions with output from dynamically downscaled climate models, we will identify potential refugia that are most conducive to facilitating the persistence of abalone under changing ocean conditions.

Boyt, Found and CEO of Disabilities Within Ocean Sciences (DWOS) and Graduate Student in the Big Fish Lab Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: Breaking Barriers Below the Surface: Navigating Challenges and Solutions for Accessible Marine Science Though 1 in 4 people in the US and 20-25% of the global population are disabled, STEM fields- especially marine sciences- witness a substantial underrepresentation of disabled individuals; disabled individuals make up only 3% of those in STEM- 75% less than in any other industry. This disparity is largely due to inaccessibility, inadequate accommodations, and a prevalent culture of ableism in STEM. While recent efforts to foster inclusivity in the scientific community have made progress in some arenas, disabled marine scientists continue to be excluded from vital conversations and initiatives aimed at increasing representation. To truly change our field, it is crucial to identify and address the unique challenges faced by disabled scientists. In order to catalyze this change, OSU graduate student Reilly Boyt, founded Disabilities Within Ocean Sciences (DWOS), a non-profit organization aimed at providing a network and resources for disabled marine scientists and organizations interested in being more inclusive and accessible. Reilly will discuss how DWOS can help our community identify obstacles encountered by disabled scientists while proposing actionable solutions that labs, organizations and universities can take to increase representation and ensure that disabled scientists continue to be an integral part of the evolving scientific landscape. HMSC Research Seminar - A Century of Beachgrass Invasions and the Landscape Level Consequences for the US Pacific Northwest Coast<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fevents.or…> When: Thursday, June 5 - 3:30pm-4:30pm Speaker: Sally Hacker, Professor, Department of Integrative Biology, Oregon State University Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2030 SE Marine Science Dr., Newport, OR 97365 Topic: A century of beachgrass invasions and the landscape level consequences for the US Pacific Northwest coast Dunes form on low-lying coastal margins where sand transported by oceanic waves and wind combine with vegetation to produce these highly dynamic backshore structures. Here in the US Pacific Northwest, dunes cover nearly 50% of the coastline and feature the largest dune sheet in North America. A century ago, two non-native beachgrass species (European beachgrass Ammophila arenaria and American beachgrass Ammophila breviligulata) were intentionally planted on our coastline to stabilize the open, shifting sand environment. The result was a landscape-level transformation of the coast with consequences for coastal protection, carbon storage, recreation, and native species conservation. In this presentation, Dr. Hacker discusses the past, present, and future of US Pacific Northwest dunes, highlighting a suite of interdisciplinary field, laboratory, and modeling studies focused on the invasion and its consequences. She will also discuss attempts to restore dunes to their native state and a recently discovered "super beachgrass" species, formed from the hybridization of the two non-native grass species.
