The recipe for unraveling the mysteries of the open sea includes several key ingredients: passionate scientists, financial backing and patience. Our Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology (SCOPE) has been helping to solve these mysteries since 2014: https://lnkd.in/ejA92-pE #science #lifesciences

About us
The Simons Foundation’s mission is to advance the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences. Since its founding in 1994 by Jim and Marilyn Simons, the foundation has been a champion of basic science through grant funding, support for research and public engagement. We believe in asking big questions and providing sustained support to researchers working to unravel the mysteries of the universe. The Simons Foundation makes grants in four areas: Mathematics & Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Autism & Neuroscience, and Science, Society & Culture. Our Flatiron Institute was opened in 2016 and conducts scientific research in-house, supporting teams of top computational scientists.
