Event Description
Join us for the Cheryl Beth Silverman Memorial Lecture featuring Carl Safina, PhD. Safina will present "Caught in the Same Net: The Ocean and Us."
Fisheries, coral reefs, forests, climate change, poverty, literacy for girls, and peace—these are all facets of the same issue.
Drawing on two acclaimed recent books—"The View From Lazy Point" and "A Sea In Flames"—scientist and author Carl Safina, PhD, weaves a story that is both deeply personal and broadly global.
Sharing travels that take us from his Long Island beach house to the high Arctic, Antarctica, and across the coastal tropics, he shows how the changes he has witnessed challenge not just nature but all of humankind.
Safina also discusses how science has ethical implications, how religion and science are converging toward common cause on environmental matters, and how moral responses can lead us to crucial solutions.
Despite serious trends, there is a path forward.
The talk will be followed by a book signing.
Free and open to the public.
