(Press-News.org) The Oceanography Society (TOS) congratulates Phillip R. Taylor for being named a Fellow. The citation on Dr. Taylor’s certificate recognizes him for the “expansion and diversification of the ocean sciences at national and international levels and for building cooperative interactions among agencies and scientific fields.”
Dr. Taylor’s nomination noted his “singular strength was a willingness to work with agency partners (within and outside of NSF) and science community leaders to develop novel programs that attracted additional investment, broadened opportunities in the ocean sciences, and produced stunning results. Ocean sciences became deeper, broader, more interdisciplinary, and generally flourished because of Phil’s leadership.”
Dr. Taylor received his Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Irvine in 1981. In 1985, he joined the National Science Foundation (NSF), serving in several leadership positions culminating in his position as Head, Ocean Section, in the Division of Ocean Sciences. From 2011 to 2019 he served first as the Executive Director, Research Advancement and Federal Relations, and then as Associate Dean for Research Advancement at the University of Southern California, Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. He is currently a member of the Board of Trustees and Treasurer of the California Ocean Sciences Trust, beginning in 2015. He recently ended three terms (2014-2022) as an elected member and Treasurer of the Board of Directors of the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography.
Dr. Taylor’s achievements will be celebrated during The Oceanography Society’s Honors Breakfast taking place on February 21, 2024, during the Ocean Sciences Meeting.

WVU researcher determines ADHD gives entrepreneurs an edge
2024-02-06
The brains of people with ADHD function in ways that can benefit them as entrepreneurs, according to research from the West Virginia University John Chambers College of Business and Economics.
Associate Professor Nancy McIntyre said her paper in the International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior and Research broadens the scope, in an entrepreneurial context, from “if ADHD functions” to “how ADHD functions.” The paper is based on a study demonstrating an entrepreneur with ADHD is able to use routines, patterns and habits like a big net ...
Trust in doctors, not public officials, boosts COVID-19 vaccination
2024-02-06
“Trust me, I’m a doctor.”
While this expression has become an advertising slogan and meme, physicians and nurses continually rank among the most trusted professions in the U.S.
Now, a new study by researchers at the NYU School of Global Public Health shows that how Americans view the medical profession shapes whether they are likely to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Among people who were hesitant or initially didn’t want a COVID-19 vaccine, those who trust the medical profession were more likely to ultimately get vaccinated. In ...
Household food waste reduced through whole-family food literacy interventionHousehold food waste reduced through whole-family food literacy intervention
2024-02-06
Philadelphia, February 6, 2024 – Food waste is a global issue, with the estimated value of wasted food totaling $230 billion CAD in 2023. In Canada, estimates suggest half of the food wasted occurs at the household level, which roughly equals $1,000 CAD per family per year. A recent research brief in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, published by Elsevier, demonstrated the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of a family-based food literacy program that promotes meal preparation and food waste reduction.
Lead study author Amar Laila, PhD, Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition, ...
How ovarian tissue freezing could prevent menopause—possibly forever
2024-02-06
Most women agree that menopause has its advantages and disadvantages. Some relish the end of menstruation and concerns about unplanned pregnancies, while others dread the possibililty of hot flashes, moodiness, and other unpleasant symptoms. What some women consider a brief and barely noticeable phase in their lives can evolve into lasting changes and discomfort for others.
Now, a new paradigm around the biological processes of menopause is capturing the attention of a small group of scientists around the country. The primary question: can menopause be delayed in healthy women, allowing them to extend their child-bearing years—and perhaps ...
Chemists decipher reaction process that could improve lithium-sulfur batteries
2024-02-06
Key takeaways
Lithium-sulfur batteries have the potential to transform energy storage, with exceptional theoretical capacity and performance in combination with an element in abundant supply. But the intricate reaction mechanism, particularly during discharge, has been challenging to solve.
UCLA researchers have identified the key pathways to a complex sulfur reduction reaction that leads to energy loss and reduced battery life span.
The study’s findings establish the whole reaction network for the first ...
