SUMMARY:Food Safety Webinar Series: Food Safety Without Fear: Building Safe Products from Day One
DESCRIPTION:The UMaine Extension Food Safety Webinar Series is a monthly\, expert-led educational series focused on practical food safety\, regulatory compliance\, and product innovation across the food system. Sessions cover topics such as electronic record-keeping\, workforce training\, chemical safety\, food adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, audit readiness\, product development\, environmental air quality\, and alternative protein innovations.

By addressing real-world topics such as digital compliance systems\, chemical handling\, adulteration prevention\, seafood pathogen detection\, and audit preparation\, the series helps participants stay current and make informed\, practical decisions. Participants will gain practical tools\, real-world case studies\, and actionable strategies related to training programs\, compliance documentation\, safe chemical use\, adulteration prevention\, seafood safety\, product innovation\, and environmental controls—knowledge they can immediately apply in their operations\, classrooms\, or regulatory work. \nFood Safety Without Fear: Building Safe Products from Day One\nFood safety doesn’t have to be intimidating\, expensive\, or a barrier to innovation. Drawing on real-world experience launching Maine Garum Company\, Liam Fisher discusses how to integrate food safety directly into seafood product development early\, simply\, and effectively. We’ll break down how to think about risk analysis\, navigate regulation\, design safe processes\, and build confidence so you can create without fear. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by regulations or unsure where to start\, this talk is for you. \nTo Register and Receive Webinar Zoom Link

SUMMARY:All Things Equal: The Life & Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
DESCRIPTION:Supreme Court Justice “RBG” welcomes a friend of the family to her cozy chambers to convey\, over the course of ninety fascinating and often funny minutes\, a sense of her life and its many trials: losing her mother the day before she graduated as valedictorian of her Brooklyn high school … being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer … fighting for women’s rights in the nineteen-seventies before condescending all-male courts … and taking courageous stands for human rights as a voice of reason amid a splintering and increasingly politicized Supreme Court. An evening with a great and compassionate icon of straight-thinking American justice emerges … an RBG who is not only “notorious” but victorious as she takes a stand for ordinary people facing the many challenges of a changing world. Bring your scrunchies\, your hankies\, your humor and your heart to this entertaining and uplifting event! \nWritten by Tony Award-Winning playwright RUPERT HOLMES\nStarring Michelle Azar as Ruth Bader Ginsburg\nDirected by Laley Lippard \n$37-$52\, Students at UMaine and UMaine Machias are eligible to receive one free ticket for this show.
