SUMMARY:Individual Blueberry Farm – Extension Office Hours – Belfast
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Calderwood will be present at Extension Offices across the wild blueberry growing regions of Maine this spring for one-on-one free consultations. Sign up for an hour and a half time slot to discuss anything from field management\, business planning\, how to get started with a new field\, expertise on a particular subject\, to sharing ideas about research and education efforts. \nWhile Lily has expertise on many subjects\, she is also an excellent person to connect you to the resources you need. Lily can visit your field instead of an office meeting\, however\, developing a field management or business management plan requires focused time at a table with a computer and other\nresources. \n\nDates: April 3\, April 28\, May 15\nTimeslots:\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\n\n\nAddress: 992 Waterville Rd\, Belfast\, ME 04915\nCost: Free\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Colloquium - Bio-Inspired Surface Engineering: From New Anti-Infection  Strategies to Low-Cost Water Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Over millions of years\, Nature has developed a variety of highly effective\, sustainable solutions to a\nwide range of problems. Relatively recent advances in materials science are now making it possible\nfor scientists and engineers to adapt similar strategies for human problems. In this seminar\, I will\npresent our recent work on two such efforts: (1) exploring new ways of creating infection-resistant\nmaterials for healthcare that remove the need for antibiotics and (2) leveraging industrial\nmass-manufacturing capacity to create large-scale surfaces with functionality such as sensing. In\nour work on infection-resistant materials\, we draw from the way that Nature uses liquid-like layers\nas one effective method to control microorganisms. We created a similar system for commercially\navailable urinary catheters\, one of the most widely used and infection-prone medical devices. Tests\nof the modified catheter materials both in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that the presence of a\nliquid-like surface effectively prevented the attachment and spread of six of the most common\npathogens in catheter-associated urinary tract infection. The materials also resisted colonization by\nan emerging fungal pathogen of concern\, Candidozyma auris. In our work on functional surfaces\, we\nrepurpose a butterfly-scale-inspired nanoscale surface textured produced at 4\,000m\n2/h for the fashion industry as a water-quality sensor. By continuously monitoring the diffraction pattern\nproduced by the surface texture as water passes over it\, we show that it is possible to detect and\nquantify a variety of model contaminants including chemical compounds\, sediment\, and algae.\nPreliminary field testing in estuaries\, rivers\, and lakes around Maine confirmed the potential of\nbio-inspired diffraction sensing for low-cost environmental monitoring. Together\, these projects\nprovide a glimpse of the range of solutions that can be generated by looking to Nature for inspiration.

SUMMARY:Talk – Bright ideas for a Stormy Future: Strengthening Southern Maine’s resilience to power outages
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, UMaine\, Orono. \n\nVirtual attendance: Complete the registration form for Zoom connection information\n\nSpeakers: Karina Graeter and James Rather\, Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission \nPower outages from inclement weather are a significant hazard in Maine\, where outages are among the most frequent in the country\, and are likely to become more frequent in Maine’s changing climate. While upgrading the electrical grid infrastructure is the responsibility of the electric utilities\, there are many actions that Maine’s regions\, state and local government(s)\, and community-based organizations can take to build upon and coordinate with utilities’ efforts to increase resilience. Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC)\, York and southern Oxford County’s Council of Governments\, recently completed a plan that includes an array of interventions designed to increase resilience to power outages in southern Maine. Join this session to learn about how power outages are affecting southern Maine communities and the actions the region will take to improve energy resilience in the face of a stormier future. \nKarina Graeter serves as the Sustainability Division Director for Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC)\, leading efforts to assist communities in local and regional response to climate change. Prior to joining SMPDC\, Karina served as the Sustainability Coordinator for the University of Maine. \nJames Rather serves as SMPDC’s Director of Strategic Initiatives\, overseeing many projects in economic development and long-range planning. James comes to SMPDC from the planning departments at the City of Portland\, City of New York\, and several firms within the private and nonprofit sectors.

SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium - Some geometric inequalities for convex hypersurfaces
DESCRIPTION:MAT Colloquium\nWednesday\, April 8\, 2026\nHill Auditorium\, Barrows Hall\nRefreshments at 3:00pm\, Talk 3:15-4:05pm \nSpeaker: James Dibble\, University of Southern Maine \nAbstract: A classical family of problems in differential geometry involves bounding certain geometric quantities\, such as volume or the length of the shortest closed geodesic\, in terms of others. In this talk\, we will discuss a variety of such inequalities\, including new ones for convex hypersurfaces. The focus will be on results that can be stated without making reference to how quickly a space curves. This is joint work with Joseph Hoisington.
