SUMMARY:Talk ā€“ Bright ideas for a Stormy Future: Strengthening Southern Maineā€™s resilience to power outages
DESCRIPTION:The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall\, 91±¬ĮĻ\, Orono. \n\nVirtual attendance:Ā Complete the registration formĀ for Zoom connection information\n\nSpeakers:Ā 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 Maineā€™s changing climate. While upgrading the electrical grid infrastructure is the responsibility of the electric utilities\, there are many actions that Maineā€™s regions\, state and local government(s)\, and community-based organizations can take to build upon and coordinate with utilitiesā€™ efforts to increase resilience. Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission (SMPDC)\, York and southern Oxford Countyā€™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 GraeterĀ 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 91±¬ĮĻ. \nJames RatherĀ serves as SMPDCā€™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:AI\, data science\, and medical care - Perspectives from the National Eye Institute
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER TODAY\nTuesday\, April 7 from 12:30 ā€“ 2 p.m.\nMinsky Recital Hall and on YouTube\n\n\nClinical practice and research are rapidly evolving due to advances in artificial intelligence and data science. This talk highlights efforts at the National Eye Institute to address these changes and shares lessons for the broader scientific and medical communities. Topics include an overview of NEI\, the potential of imaging and AI to improve care (with pediatric retinal disease as an example)\, key challenges to adoption and NIH initiatives to address them\, and emerging trends shaping the future of clinical care\, research\, and education.Ā \n\nAbout the speaker\nDr. Michael F. ChiangĀ is Director of the National Eye Institute. By background\, he is a pediatric ophthalmologist and is also board-certified in clinical informatics. His research focuses on the interface of biomedical informatics and clinical ophthalmology in areas such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)\, telehealth\, artificial intelligence\, electronic health records\, data science\, and genotype-phenotype correlation. He is an Adjunct Investigator at the National Library of Medicine\, and his group has published over 250 peer-reviewed papers and developed an assistive artificial intelligence system for ROP that received Breakthrough Status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.\n\nAbout the workshop\nThis distinguished lecture is presented by the 91±¬ĮĻā€™sĀ Office of the Vice President for Research and Maine College of Engineering and Computing.Ā The 91±¬ĮĻ System is an equal opportunity institution committed to nondiscrimination.

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.

SUMMARY:Libby Lecture in Natural Resource Policy
DESCRIPTION:Ā  \nThe annualĀ Libby Lecture in Natural Resource PolicyĀ is scheduled to take place on April 9 at 3 PM in the McIntire Room of the Buchanan Alumni House. \nThis eighth installment of the lecture series will feature Dr. Aaron Rice\, principal ecologist at the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics in the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University. His presentation is titledĀ Conservation Bioacoustics in a Rapidly Changing Ocean. \nDr. Rice will discuss ways in which his lab uses marine bioacoustics to understand and mitigate human impacts on whales and fishes from data-deficient species\, offshore wind farm construction\, and marine community responses to climate change\, addressing information gaps in marine spatial planning and providing data to reduce uncertainty with decision-making and policy development. \nThe annual Libby Lecture in Natural Resource Policy was established with a gift from Lawrence W. Libby ā€˜62 and Lois Murdock Libby ā€˜63. It isĀ a collaborative event coordinated by the College of Earth\, Life\, and Health SciencesĀ and theĀ College of Liberal Arts and Sciences\, with additional support this yearĀ from the Darling Marine Center.
