Thomson Auction, Watershed Research, PechaKucha In Weekly

The Weekly has a series of briefs about several upcoming UMaine projects and events, including a student poster session next Tuesday at John Bapst High School in Bangor to highlight local high school students’ research on mercury in watersheds. The students have been working with researcher Sarah Nelson of UMaine’s Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Environmental and Watershed Research, and also with the Maine Sea Grant which is based at UMaine. The Weekly also noted that weekend will be an art auction and sale by the estate of the late artist and illustrator Arlene Thomson to benefit the UMaine Honors College. Also Friday night is a PechaKucha event sponsored in part by the UMaine Museum of Art.
