SUMMARY:A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds with Scott Weidensaul (CANCELLED)
DESCRIPTION:*NOTICE* We are deeply regretful to inform you that due to the pending federal government shutdown\, this lecture has been cancelled. Thank you for your tremendous interest in this event\, and we look forward to an opportunity to host Scott in Acadia in 2024 and share in his passion and odysseys with our winged friends.\n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, October 3rd at 7:00pm for a special evening lecture\, A World on the Wing: The Global Odyssey of Migratory Birds\, with Scott Weidensaul. \nEven as scientists make astounding discoveries about the navigational and physiological feats that enable migratory birds to cross immense oceans or fly above the highest mountains\, go weeks without sleep or remain in unbroken flight for months at a stretch\, humans have brought many migrants to the brink. Based on his bestselling new book “A World on the Wing\,” author and researcher Scott Weidensaul takes you around the globe — with researchers in the lab probing the limits of what migrating birds can do\, to the shores of the Yellow Sea in China\, the remote mountains of northeastern India where tribal villages saved the greatest gathering of falcons on the planet\, and the Mediterranean\, where activists and police are battling bird poachers — to learn how people are fighting to understand and save the world’s great bird migrations. \nScott Weidensaul is the author of more than two dozen books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist “Living on the Wind” and his latest\, the New York Times bestseller “A World on the Wing.” Weidensaul is a contributing editor for Audubon and writes for a variety of other publications\, including Bird Watcher’s Digest and Living Bird. He is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society and an active field researcher\, studying saw-whet owl migration for more than 25 years\, as well as winter hummingbirds in the East\, bird migration in Alaska\, and the winter movements of snowy owls through Project SNOWstorm\, which he co-founded. A native of Pennsylvania\, he and his wife now live in New Hampshire. \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:Music and Nature Reflections with Hawk Henries
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for your interest! We have reached capacity for in-person attendance\, but we encourage you to join us remotely via Zoom. Please scroll down to register below for the Zoom link. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, September 12th at 7:00pm for a special evening conversation and musical performance with Hawk Henries. Hawk is a renowned musician and flute maker. As one of a relatively small number of Native flute makers who continue in the tradition of using only hand tools and fire\, Hawk’s work embodies his commitment to the revitalization and preservation of these skills. \nDuring the performance\, Hawk will share his passion for his artistry and talk about how the flute’s body and voice reminds us of the interrelatedness\, interdependence\, and sacredness of all people and all of Creation. He will also share some of his observations of the natural world through his music and photography. Hawk has been composing original flute music and making flutes for over 25 years. He is a member of the Chaubunagungamaug band of Nipmuck\, a people indigenous to what is now southern New England. \nJoin us in-person at Moore Auditorium on the Schoodic Institute campus or online via Zoom. This event is free and open to the public. \n \nHere is the Zoom link to join us virtually: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81040033076?pwd=NS9JbEx2RmpUVGVXZFh3RUNxUFFwQT09 \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  \n

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.
