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.
On Aug. 6, the series closes with “Ocean Epidemiology: Tracking Marine Diseases to Protect Fisheries and Ocean Health,” featuring Senior Research Scientist Maya Groner, Postdoctoral Scientist Melissa Rocker, and Research Scientist Reyn Yoshioka. They will share insights on some of the marine diseases that impact valuable fisheries, including how those diseases are responding to a warming ocean and why collaboration between agencies, resource managers, and scientists are essential.
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.
