Scripps Institution of Oceanography Jessica Meir Commemorative Patch

Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has created a commemorative patch honoring alumna Jessica Meir's second spaceflight to join Expeditions 74 and 75 on the International Space Station. This design reflects the teamwork essential to scientific discovery, celebrating the mentors and peers who shaped Meir's path and marking her evolution from mentee to mentor as commander of Crew-12 and ISS Expedition 75. It also nods to the forward momentum and perseverance required to advance scientific research in the most extreme environments, from the sea to the stars. Subtle references acknowledge the places that sparked her passion for conservation, alongside the family whose support continues to keep her grounded in gratitude as she leads at the cutting edge of scientific exploration.
