New York State Marine Education Association
About Us
NYSMEA exists to promote marine awareness and encourage the growth and exchange of instructional resources within the scientific, commercial, and educational communities. We hold an annual conference, periodic meetings, lectures, workshops, field trips, boat trips and produce a monthly newsletter, "The Strandline", which alerts members to upcoming activities and new postings on our Web site. Our Web site also includes lesson plans, job postings, research opportunities, field trip destinations, and marine-related links.
Have you ever wondered what went on at a scuba exposition? March 29-31
is your chance to find out while doing a good deed for your professional
association. NYSMEA is recruiting volunteers to donate a few hours of
their time in exchange for access to the Beneath The Sea scuba
conference. We are going out on a limb and reserving a booth to promote
marine science education and need your help. Please volunteer to talk
to attendees about us and our mission, and take turns with the other
volunteers walking around and visiting other booths. If you've done
this type of thing before, you know how much fun it is! If you haven't -
take a leap of faith and find out now! Reserve your space via our

Impact of Global Warming on Oceans
Are you a Ph.D. candidate, post-doc, or established scientist doing research on bioluminescence, coral reefs and bleaching, Mariana Trench and deep oceans, impact of global warming on oceans, and/or water pressure? Stephanie Fins, a teacher with the Dalton School at the American Museum of Natural History, is looking to identify 6-10 scientists who are interested in being interviewed by a small group of students for about half an hour, either by Sykpe, or in person if they are local. If you are available to speak with students, either individually or in a small group where they would ask 3-5 questions, please reach out to her at sfins@amnh.org.

NYMS Headquarters will open by noon, and will remain open through 4:30.
Featured Presentation:
How
an FDA aquatic animals specialist veterinarian used microscopy to
demonstrate the mechanism of toxicity of melamine contamination in pet
food and infant formula
Renate Reimschuessel, VMD, PhD, works as a biologist in the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Office of Research within the Center for Veterinary Medicine. According to FDA, Reimschuessel was able to determine how melamine and related chemicals in pet food were responsible for causing kidney damage in dogs and cats. Prior to this work, scientists had rejected the idea that melamine was contaminating pet food because they thought the chemical was non-toxic.
Dr Renate Reimschuessel was nominated for a Service to America Award,
designated for federal employees who make significant contributions to
the safety, health and wellbeing of Americans.
Reimschuessel was also honored by U.S. Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, who placed into the Congressional Record his statement that Dr. Reimschuessel’s research had identified the ability of nontoxic compounds to become toxic when combined, and had helped improve the way our government preserves scientific specimens. Rep. Ruppersberger lauded Dr Reimschuessel for helping to resolve an immediate crisis, and for continuing in FDA efforts to protect the U.S. food supply from tainted imports.
SPECIAL!
Renate’s mother Dr Annemarie C Reimschuessel was NYMS’ President during part of the 1970s. We met Annemarie again when she and Renate attended NYMS’ 2017 Winter Banquet, and Annemarie will join us again on the 17th!
Afterward we will dine at Toros, Clifton’s excellent Turkish Restaurant, each of us at our own expense. So that we may reserve a large enough dinner table for our convivial group, please RSVP no later than February 15: email to nyconsnfdn@aol.com
We are leaving this here as a reminder for next year, and for information on the event!
