SUMMARY:MDI Science Cafe: Exploring Future Sea Levels with Science\, History\, and Art on Mount Desert Island
DESCRIPTION:How do we document the changing coastline of Mount Desert Island? How can history\, science\, and art come together to help us understand and prepare for the future? \nOn June 9\, join MDI Biological Laboratory Science Cafe panelists Raney Bench (Executive Director at Mount Desert Island Historical Society)\, artist Jennifer Booher\, Catherine Schmitt (Science Communication Specialist at Schoodic Institute) at this hybrid event to discuss how the “Coast Lines” project uses community art\, and science to track sea levels & storm surges. \nPart of the Landscape of Change initiative\, Coast Lines is a public science-history-art project focused on documenting past\, present\, and future storm surges and sea levels on Mount Desert Island. In 2024\, this work took on new and greater relevance as multiple record-setting winter storms impacted waterfronts and ecosystems all around the island. \nJoin us for an update on installations of the “Coast Lines” stencil that involved community partners\, teachers\, and students\, as well as how sea level observations contributed by volunteers have informed scientific models of future sea levels and storms. \nThe panel will also share some lessons learned from engaging the community in thinking about the coastal landscape and how it is changing\, both subtly and dramatically\, and where we’d like to go from here. \nTo register\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Keeping Up With The Pace: How Are We Responding To Change?
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to our climate\, too often our focus is on what has happened in the past or what might happen in the future; however\, communities across the globe are experiencing dramatic changes right now. Here in Acadia\, we are dealing with hotter temperatures\, rising sea level\, and increasing storm frequency and intensity. \nOn July 24th\, 2023\, join us for a special conversation with Ira Flatow\, host of Science Friday on NPR. During the event\, we will discuss how scientists are working to understand and respond to rapid change in Acadia and beyond. Ira will also share thoughts on the role science communicators can play in their communities and the importance of serving as an ambassador for science. \nThe Goldstein Lecture serves to convene and inspire on critical topics for parks\, people\, and the planet. The lecture is named in honor of Alan Goldstein\, an accomplished businessman\, philanthropist\, sailor\, and environmental advocate. Schoodic Institute serves as the nation’s largest Research Learning Center and is a nonprofit partner of Acadia National Park. Chairing Schoodic Institute’s Board of Directors from 2006 to 2018\, Alan remains an active member of the Board. \nAbout Ira Flatow\n \nAward-winning science correspondent and TV journalist Ira Flatow is the host of Science Friday\, heard on public radio stations across the country and distributed by WNYC Studios. He anchors the show each Friday\, bringing radio and Internet listeners worldwide a lively\, informative discussion on science\, technology\, health\, space\, and the environment. \nFlatow’s interest in things scientific began in boyhood—he almost burned down his mother’s bathroom trying to recreate a biology class experiment. “I was the proverbial kid who spent hours in the basement experimenting with electronic gizmos\, and then entering them in high school science fairs\,” Flatow says. Mixing his passion for science with a tendency toward being a bit of a ham\, Flatow describes his work as the challenge “to make science and technology a topic for discussion around the dinner table.” \nHe has shared that enthusiasm with public radio listeners for more than 35 years. As a reporter and then news director at WBFO-FM/Buffalo\, New York\, Flatow began reporting at the station while studying for his engineering degree at State University of New York in Buffalo. As NPR’s science correspondent from 1971 to 1986\, Flatow found himself reporting from the Kennedy Space Center\, Three Mile Island\, Antarctica\, and the South Pole. In one memorable NPR report\, Flatow took former All Things Considered host Susan Stamberg into a closet to crunch Wint-O-Green Lifesavers\, proving they spark in the dark. \nOn television\, Flatow has discussed the latest cutting edge science stories on a variety of programs. He also hosted the four-part PBS series Big Ideas\, produced by WNET in New York. His numerous TV credits include six years as host and writer for the Emmy award-winning Newton’s Apple on PBS\, science reporter for CBS This Morning\, and cable’s CNBC. He wrote\, produced\, and hosted Transistorized!\, an hour-long documentary about the history of the transistor\, which aired on PBS. He has talked science on many TV talk shows including Merv Griffin\, Today\, Charlie Rose\, and Oprah. He has co-starred twice on the CBS hit series The Big Bang Theory. \nOn the Internet\, Flatow has hosted numerous science-related web casts for Discovery Online\, The Great Planet Debate\, and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. \nIn print\, Ira has authored articles for various magazines ranging from Woman’s Day to ESPN Magazine to American Lawyer. His commentary has appeared in The Los Angeles Times\, and Current newspapers. \nHis recent honors include: the Isaac Asimov Award (2012\,) the Nierenberg Prize (2010)\, Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering\, membership (2008)\, National Science Teachers Association Faraday Science Communicator Award (2007)\, the National Science Board Public Service Award (2005)\, World Economic Forum Media Fellowship (2005)\, AAAS Journalism award (2000)\, Brady Washburn Award (2000)\, and the Carl Sagan Award (1999). Ira is member of the National Association of Science Writers\, AFTRA\, and Screen Actors Guild. \nHis hobbies include tennis\, golf\, gardening (especially orchids)\, and electronic gadgets. He loves the theater. A native of New York\, Flatow now lives in Connecticut. \nJoin us in-person at Schoodic Institute or online via Zoom. This lecture is free and open to the public – registration is required. Please register below! \nSchoodic Institute’s Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsors\, including Darling’s\, Bar Harbor Bank & Trust\, and Wallace Events. \n \n \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Intertidal Research in Acadia
DESCRIPTION:Schoodic Institute and Acadia National Park invite you to a virtual session of the Acadia National Park Science Symposium on intertidal research in the park. Four sessions with a panel of invited speakers will discuss National Park Service priorities\, broad scale research across the intertidal zone\, research specific to the rocky intertidal\, and research specific to the soft sediment intertidal. There will be a question and answer discussion at the conclusion of each session. \nThe intertidal zone of Acadia National Park has attracted researchers for over a century. In 2021 alone Acadia National Park issued 21 research permits for people to collect and share data about Acadia’s intertidal zone. In the summer of 2021 a summer intern scoured park resources to compile 7\,781 unique observations of algae\, invertebrates\, fish\, and other intertidal organisms—observations spanning from 1903 to 2018. The intertidal of Acadia National Park is perhaps the park’s most threatened ecosystem\, facing a hash of discordant stresses. How can science help the park manage for the threats\, while the park also acts as a place for researchers to better understand the very role and nature of the intertidal? During this symposium we will hear from researchers and managers dedicated to the twin goals of “Science for Parks” and “Parks for Science”–we hope you can join us. \nVenue – The event will be held virtually via Zoom.\nAgenda – View the draft agenda.\nDeadlines for registration – Registration for the symposium will close at 5 p.m.\, Tuesday\, March 1.\nQuestions – For more information\, contact Shannon O’Brien at sobrien@schoodicinstitute.org \nLoading…
