BIOS is looking forward to collaborating with Warwick Academy on developing programs and learning opportunities for their new Marine Science Facility. Both BIOS and Warwick Academy see the value of providing the next generation with a variety of classroom and field-based learning opportunities in the STEM subjects, which then serve to strengthen Bermuda’s pool of talent and expertise.

Both BIOS and Bermuda College are known for providing outstanding educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects for the island’s young people. While the Bermuda College is a degree-granting institution and BIOS is a not-for-profit research and education facility that focuses on training local students in primary, middle, and high school, both organizations have a similar goal: to provide the island’s children and young adults with the knowledge, skills, and experiences required for future success in academics and the workforce.

Sol Petroleum Bermuda Limited, exclusive licensed distributor of Esso branded fuels, donated $5,000 to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences [BIOS] Ocean Academy Program.

Each year a handful of Bermudian students are selected to participate in the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences [BIOS] Bermuda Program, which offers an excellent experience to work alongside top experts in the field.

A spokesperson said, “Since 2015, the Mid-Atlantic Robotics IN Education program has been a core component of BIOS’s Ocean Academy, which offers a suite of hands-on education and research opportunities for students and teachers in Bermuda.

A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science is changing the way that biological oceanographers view the swimming and sinking behaviors of open ocean, or pelagic, snails. Pteropods and heteropods are small marine snails, most measuring on the order of millimeters to centimeters, that are found throughout the world’s ocean from the surface to depths of 3000 feet (1000 meters). Although small in size, these organisms play a vital role in the ocean’s food web and biogeochemical cycles, as well as the global carbon cycle.

The first episode of Ocean Diaries went online this week as part of a collaboration between the Bermuda Zoological Society, the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences and the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute.

The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS), a unit of Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory and School of Ocean Futures at Arizona State University, has announced funding support for deep-sea research and education training for Bermudians. The funding is led by a charitable grant from the Global Atlantic Re foundation, which is sponsored by Global Atlantic Financial Group (Global Atlantic), a leading insurance company meeting the retirement and life insurance needs of individuals and institutions.

The transformative power of education lies not only in the knowledge gained within the classroom walls but also in the experiences that broaden young minds beyond their familiar surroundings. Such is the case for a group of 23 students from Polaris, a K-12 grade school in Anchorage, Alaska (U.S.). In May, these ambitious learners embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Bermuda, where they had the unique opportunity to visit the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences. Over the course of 10 days, these curious young minds and their educators were immersed in a variety of interactive activities that took learning beyond the confines of their Alaskan classroom.
