Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences will soon open its doors to community members, supporters, and ocean enthusiasts for its annual Café Sci series of science talks. This year, talks will take place on Wednesdays from July 16 through Aug. 6. People can join virtually or in-person at the Bigelow Laboratory campus in East Boothbay.
Talks kick off on July 16 with, “Whales in the Forecast: Using 21st Century Tools to Understand an Endangered Species.” Senior Research Scientist Nick Record and postdoctoral scientists Rebekah Shunmugapandi and Jonathan Syme will discuss how their team from the Tandy Center for Ocean Forecasting is combining advancing remote sensing and AI technology to help understand the movements of the elusive North Atlantic right whale in a changing ocean.
The event is free, but space is limited, and registration for both in-person and virtual attendance is required at http://www.bigelow.org/cafesci.
