BIMS Announces Tidal Wave Fellows for 2025
Black In Marine Science (BIMS) is excited to announce the 2025 cohort of Tidal Wave Fellows, a group of remarkable individuals selected for their dedication to marine science and environmental stewardship.
The Tidal Wave Fellowship, a flagship program by BIMS, provides crucial mentorship, resources, and opportunities to Black professionals and students in marine science, promoting equitable representation and career development in the field.
Participants have the opportunity to attend intensive workshops tailored to bolster professional skills and also attend major conferences at no cost, fostering professional growth, networking, and a diverse scientific community.
My time as a 2023-2024 tidal wave fellow taught me how to combat imposter syndrome. Being surrounded by marine scientists from various academic and professional backgrounds gave me a sense of belonging.
Shatiyana Dunn Tidal Wave Fellow and Peer Mentor
BIMS has invested over $600k in students' growth and professional development. And so far more than 40 members had the opportunity to attend the 2024 Ocean Decade Conference in Spain and the Inaugural BIMS Week Scientific Wellness retreat in Norfolk Virginia. The 2025 cohort of 50 will attend the BIMS Week Wellness retreat in San Diego in December and the HBCU Climate Change conference in New Orleans in March 2025.
BIMS celebrates the diversity of this year's cohort, a group that includes participants from various ages and backgrounds, from high school students to retired professionals. This second cohort illustrates that a passion for marine science knows no boundaries.
"By providing a multigenerational cohort of scholars the opportunity to attend imiportant ocean science conference, we are ensuring that all voices are a part of conserving our oceans. We wrote this grant because we believe the research and policies discussed at ocean conferences are only as strong as the community equipped with the knowledge they produce."
Through the Tidal Wave program, BIMS reaffirms its mission of creating inclusive spaces and opportunities for Black scientists within the marine sciences, ensuring representation in research, innovation, and ocean advocacy.
