]]> Food Safety Webinar Series: A Practical Colorimetric Method to Monitor Vibrio parahaemolyticus /calendar/event/food-safety-webinar-series-practical-colorimetric-method/ Fri, 10 Jul 2026 14:00:00 +0000 /calendar/?post_type=tribe_events&p=7961 The 91±¬ÁÏ 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. The series is designed for food producers, processors, seafood businesses, entrepreneurs, quality assurance staff, extension educators, students, faculty, regulatory professionals, and technical specialists, with particular relevance for those working with food safety training, compliance systems, seafood hazards, product development, and emerging technologies in food processing.

Food businesses and professionals face increasing regulatory expectations, evolving hazards, and rapid technological change. 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.

Food Adulteration Training

Detecting harmful bacteria like Vibrio parahaemolyticus in seafood is critical for public health, but traditional lab methods can be slow, costly, and technically complex. Addressing this need, Drs. Gulnihal Ozbay and Ali Parsaeimehr from Delaware State University have developed an innovative, colorimetric PCR-based detection method that is both rapid and accessible.

Their method targets a specific virulence gene and uses a DNAzyme signaling probe to produce a visible color change, allowing detection by the naked eye. This approach can identify the bacterium at very low concentrations in just two hours, offering a significant advantage over conventional techniques that require more time, expensive equipment, and specialized training.

Recently granted a provisional international patent, this cost-effective and user-friendly technology is designed to empower on-site screening. It holds great promise for aquaculturists, hatchery managers, and food safety inspectors, particularly in resource-limited settings, enhancing our ability to ensure seafood safety from harvest to market.

In the next 10 years humans will return to the Moon with the Artemis missions and develop a sustained, strategic presence near the lunar South Pole. The Moon will become our first ‘staging post’ from which Mars and the rest of the solar system becomes tantalizingly closer. Prepare for a breath-taking lunar adventure!

]]> Preserving and Using Plants and Flowers in Brunswick /calendar/event/preserving-and-using-plants-and-flowers-in-brunswick/ Sun, 12 Jul 2026 17:00:00 +0000 /calendar/?post_type=tribe_events&p=12359

Delaney Bucker and Jennifer Goldstein, volunteers with the 91±¬ÁÏ’s Cooperative Extension program, will share how to dry, press, store, and use native plants in recipes and for decoration. You’ll practice preserving herbs and flowers and take some home.

Free, but limited to 15 participants.

This workshop is being hosted in collaboration with the Pejepscot History Center.

]]> Earth, Moon, and Sun /calendar/event/earth-moon-and-sun-2/2026-07-12/ Sun, 12 Jul 2026 18:00:00 +0000 /calendar/?post_type=tribe_events&p=12381 Earth, Moon, & Sun is a fast-paced full dome demonstration of lunar phases, eclipses, day and night, the sun and other puzzling events with the help of a confused coyote. This program beautifully illustrates basic concepts like moon phases and seasons. Based on the trickster of Native American lore, Coyote is constantly corrected in his misunderstandings of how things work. A live tour of the Maine sky and its beautiful constellations completes this micro-unit of astronomy.

]]> Dark Side of the Moon: 50 Years in a Heartbeat /calendar/event/dark-side-of-the-moon-50-years-in-a-heartbeat/2026-07-12/ Sun, 12 Jul 2026 20:00:00 +0000 /calendar/?post_type=tribe_events&p=12389 Pink Floyd’s iconic album The Dark Side Of The Moon, originally released in March 1973, turned 50 in 2023, and what more fitting a place to celebrate it and experience it than in a Planetarium, through the music set to visuals? With the help of modern technology, the idea of a show combining breath-taking views of the solar system and beyond, played out to 42 minutes of The Dark Side Of The Moon in surround sound, has been embraced by the band. NSC Creative have led the visual production efforts, working closely with Pink Floyd’s long time creative collaborator Aubrey Powell from Hipgnosis.

Each song has a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up to the minute technology that only a Planetarium can offer. A truly immersive and all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience.

Tickets are $11 for general admission.

Music programs may contain explicit lyrics, and are intended for adult audiences. All music programs may contain bright flashing lights and fast-moving images, which have been known to trigger seizures with those with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.

Tickets may be purchased , by phone at 207.581.1341, or at our ticket box office prior to the show.
