Mark Anderson to give 2015 Geddes W. Simpson Lecture.
His talk, “Open Season on Chickadees: A Field Guide to the Anthropocene,” will draw on lessons from Big History and the science of global change to assess the state of human society in the 21st Century. A “field guide” will be proposed to help us navigate this new epoch – the Anthropocene. The Geddes W. Simpson Lecture Series features speakers of prominence “who have provided significant insight into the area where science and history intersect.” The talk will be at 3:30 on October 5, 2015 in the McIntire Room, Buchanan Alumni House, University of Maine
