SUMMARY:The Story Collider
DESCRIPTION:The Story Collider‘s mission is to reveal the vibrant role that science plays in all of our lives through the art of personal storytelling. At our live storytelling events in the U.S.\, Canada\, and the U.K.\, people of all walks of life – from scientists and doctors to journalists and comedians to artists\, firefighters\, and bartenders – tell stories about how science has affected their lives. We share a selection of these stories on our weekly podcast\, which The Washington Post has called “delightful\, devastating\, and endlessly listenable.” \nIn this free show in partnership with the Schoodic Institute\, The Story Collider will present five stories from scientists working in and around Acadia National Park\, who share their personal connection to their science.

SUMMARY:Adventures in Rockweed: Researching the Ecology of the Maine Coast
DESCRIPTION:Rockweed.  For some it’s the low tide slippery stuff between a swimmer and the swim\, for others it’s strands of green to be kept from a propeller.  It’s also a fascinating marine alga\, an ecosystem unto itself\, a provider of energy to the upland and to the ocean alike—and understanding how this curious system works is more than enough to keep a researcher busy forever.  Webber will share some research adventures in the rockweed ecosystem across the coast of Maine. \nUPDATE: This will be a virtual-only event. \nPlease join us remotely via Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84446292486?pwd=elI2S0VuVUdlUVFGWUFjLzUyY2dMQT09 \n  \n  \nSchoodic Institute’s Summer Lecture Series is made possible by our generous sponsor\, Darling’s Auto Mall.

SUMMARY:Spring Birds in Acadia\, with Puffin Cruise - FULL
DESCRIPTION:This event has reached capacity.  Please consider one of our other bird tours.  You may also call Michelle at 288-1356 to be placed on a waiting list in case this event reopens. \nSchoodic Institute’s Seth Benz and Holly Merker\, author of “Ornitherapy” will lead this four-day bird tour designed to enhance your enjoyment and knowledge of all birds\, especially those that frequent or pass through Acadia National Park and its immediate surroundings. \nBe among the first to see and hear colorful wood warblers returning to Maine’s Acadia National Park\, and enjoy a 3-hour boat trip to Petit Manan Island for Atlantic Puffins.  We’ll visit area hotspots at a leisurely pace while learning about bird song and sight identification\, bird habitats and behavior\, and we’ll pay extra attention to enhancing your field birding skills and enjoyment of nature.  The entire tour will be based out of Schoodic Institute\, a research and learning center\, ideally situated just a stone’s throw from Schoodic Point\, a migration checkpoint that tallies tens of thousands of passing birds annually.  Lodging is in cozy cabins where you will be awakened by songs of Hermit Thrush\, Winter Wren\, and Magnolia Warbler.  Blue-headed vireos and Northern Parula warblers serenade you as you walk to Schooner Commons\, the Institute’s dining hall.  Maine has a way of spoiling birders – and this spring tour is designed to do just that! \nRegistration is required.  The program cost is $985.00 per participant.  Space is limited so register quickly. \nExample itinerary (Day 2 and 3 may be flipped\, depending upon weather): \nDay 1: Check-in is at 10:00 AM.  “Spring Birds” begins on the Schoodic Institute campus at 11:00 AM with introductions and a tour of the Institute campus.  Lunch will follow at Schooner Commons.  The afternoon will feature the start of field birding with an excursion to a local hotspot or two.  We’ll return to campus for an hour of relaxation before dinner.  Dinner is from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.  An evening presentation on puffin restoration efforts will follow dinner in preparation for tomorrow’s boat trip to an active seabird colony. \nDay 2: Breakfast is from 7:00 to 8:00 AM in Schooner Commons.  An optional morning bird walk on campus is available before breakfast.  We’ll then travel 10 minutes or so to the boat launch in Winter Harbor for a 3-hour cruise to Petit Manan Island.  This is our best chance to see Atlantic Puffin\, Razorbill\, Common Murre\, and several tern species as we circumnavigate the island\, one of just 5 islands in Maine where you can see Atlantic Puffin\, thanks to restoration efforts.  After lunch\, which will be a field lunch at a bird-rich picnic spot\, we’ll inspect some nearby Spruce Grouse habitat to see if we can find a territorial male or two.  Of course\, there will be other birds to see along the way.   An evening discussion on the day’s experience\, identification tips and review\, and how to get the most out of eBird use follows dinner. \nDay 3: Optional campus bird walk before breakfast from 7:00 to 8:00 AM.  We’ll then spend the day investigating hotspots on the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia National Park as well as the nearby villages of Winter Harbor\, Prospect Harbor and Corea.  Lunch will be in the field (carefully packed in a cooler along with water). We’ll return to campus by 5:00 PM for leisure time before the 6:00 PM dinner.  Dinner this last night together is your choice of lobster or a delicious alternative.  Afterward\, we’ll sum up the day and complete a checklist review. \nDay 4: Optional before breakfast bird walk.  We’ll then wrap things up following breakfast and have the option of a culminating stroll to Schoodic Point.  Checkout is at 10:00 AM. \nHousing: Lodging assignments are based on guests sleeping in a private bedroom in a shared apartment.  In light of COVID-19 we recommend that guests in each apartment work together to coordinate use of the bathroom.  We will place cleaning products in each bathroom and suggest that every person disinfect the space for the next user when they are done using it.  All lodging provides a fully equipped kitchen\, combined living/dining area with DirecTV and WiFi.  Towels and linens are provided.  Please call Megan (207) 288-1337 or Michelle (207) 288-1356 if you have any questions regarding alternative lodging options or in the event you would like to bring a guest or extend your reservation.  Private apartments can be reserved with an upcharge and based upon availability.  We are happy to accommodate if space is available! \nShould You Need to Cancel Your Event Registration\nThere is a $35 processing fee for any cancellation made 15 days or more prior to the conference date.

SUMMARY:Birds of Spring: Anticipation and Appreciation
DESCRIPTION:The seasonal shift of birds from wintering areas to summer breeding territories is well underway during the month of April.  This 4-part mini-course taught by Seth Benz is offered as a sequential program combining classroom presentations with a field excursion each week.  April\, at our latitude\, is a month of anticipation for returning birds. It is also a time of exodus for species that have spent their winter with us.  By early May some bird species have begun nesting\, others are establishing territories\, and still others are migrating through our neighborhoods.  We’ll immerse ourselves in the bird world for 3 hours each week using slides\, videos\, museum specimens\, select readings and field observations.  While each week is designed to build upon the previous week’s experience\, course content will be accessible enough that each week alone will be a learning experience.  Join the flock\, get in on the joy of anticipating and appreciating Acadia’s bird life.

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…
