MDI Science Café — Discovery and Boundaries: Next-Generation Conservation in Parks and Communities
The mission of Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park -- to pursue collaborative solutions to critical environmental challenges through discovery and learning -- will be the subject of the May Science Café delivered by Don Kent, Ph.D., the institute’s president and CEO. Schoodic Institute’s public-private partnership with Acadia National Park provides a laboratory for research to study environmental problems (“because national parks are large and protected, they are uniquely valuable experimental sites,” Kent said) and an opportunity to enhance science literacy and environmental stewardship among the hundreds of millions who visit the park each year.
