SUMMARY:No Time to Wait: Science Organizations as the New Adaptation Leaders feat. Doug Parsons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 2025 Summer Lecture Series!\nJoin us in person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom on Tuesday\, July 8 at 7:00pm for No Time to Wait: Science Organizations as the New Adaptation Leaders featuring Doug Parsons\, Director of America Adapts Media and host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast. \nDoug Parsons is the Director of America Adapts Media and host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast.\nAs the federal government steps back from climate leadership and science comes under increasing attack\, the role of science organizations has never been more critical. At the local level\, these groups are essential in not just advancing climate adaptation but also creating widespread awareness of its urgency. Too often\, adaptation is overlooked in climate discussions\, yet it is vital for protecting communities and ecosystems. In this talk\, Doug Parsons\, host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast\, will explore how research institutions can lead the way in bridging the gap between science\, policy\, and public understanding. With real-world examples and insights from his global storytelling\, Doug will highlight why now is the time for science organizations to step up\, ensuring that adaptation becomes a central focus in the climate conversation. \nDoug Parsons is the Director of America Adapts Media and host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast. A recognized leader in climate adaptation\, Doug has worked at the intersection of science communication\, policy\, and media for over a decade. He has traveled the world telling stories of adaptation\, highlighting the people\, policies\, and innovations shaping our climate future. His career includes roles with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the National Park Service\, as well as adaptation work in Australia. Doug is a sought-after speaker\, consultant\, and storyteller\, helping organizations and audiences understand the urgency and opportunities in climate adaptation.

SUMMARY:Chebacco Author Program: Gifts from Former Shores with Bonnie Newsom and Catherine Schmitt
DESCRIPTION:Shell mounds—rich in clam and oyster shells\, animal bones\, tools\, and pottery—reveal the long-term\, year-round presence and sophisticated stewardship of marine resources by Wabanaki people. A 1993 underwater discovery of oyster shells\, dating back 9\,000 years\, supports evidence of ancient coastal living when sea levels were lower. Today\, while warming waters are enabling the return of oysters\, rising waters and storms threaten the integrity of cultural heritage sites. Preserving shell mounds and the Wabanaki knowledge they hold offers vital lessons for sustainable living in a changing world. \nJoin Bonnie Newsom and Catherine Schmitt as they journey through thousands of years of dynamic coastal transformation and enduring human presence. Through the lens of ancient shell mounds\, they will explore the sophisticated foodways\, seasonal movements\, and environmental stewardship of Wabanaki people\, past and present. This program is based on the 2025 Chebacco article Gifts from Former Shores. \nThis program is a collaboration between the MDI Historical Society and the Northeast Harbor Library. It will be offered in person at the Northeast Harbor Library (1 Joy Road Mount Desert\, ME\, 04662) and remotely via Zoom\, and it will be recorded for later viewing. \nPlease Register at: https://nehlibrary.libcal.com/event/13287794 \nDr. Bonnie Newsom is a member of the Penobscot Nation and an archaeologist who is interested in the pre-contact lifeways of the Wabanaki peoples. She is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Faculty Associate in the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine. She and her husband Les are both military veterans\, and they live in Eddington\, Maine. They have four children and three grandsons.  \nCatherine Schmitt is a science communication specialist with Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park\, and previously served as a science writer and communications director for Maine Sea Grant at the University of Maine. She is the author of the books Historic Acadia National Park\, The President’s Salmon\, and A Coastal Companion: A Year in the Gulf of Maine from Cape Cod to Canada\, as well as articles and essays for varied publications.
