BDN Previews Olson Presentations
Tuesday’s Bangor Daily News previews three days of UMaine presentations by author, filmmaker and science communicator Randy Olson. A faculty member at the University of Southern California, Olson will make a series of public presentations while also interacting with UMaine students and faculty members in various settings. A highlight will be Wednesday evening’s 7 p.m. 20th anniversary screening of his film “Salt of the Earth: A journey to the heart of Maine lobster fishermen.” That film provided a first-person account of life in the lobstering industry through the stories of Brian and Stevie Robbins of Stonington. They will participate in a post-film discussion on Wednesday evening, to be followed by a performance by Maine bluegrass group Blue Northern. Tickets to Wednesday’s event cost $10. They are available at the Collins Center for the Arts (www.collinscenterforthearts.com or 581-1755).
