Dear Annapolis Cafe Scientifique Patrons,

Strength in Numbers: How people like you are helping researchers in Antarctica achieve the impossible, by Lori Gross

Abstract: Antarctica is one of the most remote places on the planet, as well as one of the most expensive areas to conduct research. It is also limited by seasonal accessibility, making data difficult to collect. With the help of people just like you doing Citizen Science, researchers in Antarctica have been able to make discoveries and collect data that they never dreamed possible. Thousands of people every year visit Antarctica on small expedition ships. Under the guidance of their expedition guides, many of whom have a research background, travelers participate in a diverse set of projects including cloud observations, plankton collecting, penguin counting, and whale identification. Since collaborating with researchers, Citizen Scientists in Antarctica have helped accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and data analysis.
Come learn about Antarctic Citizen Science and how you can get involved, even from home!
About the Speaker: Lori Gross is an expedition guide and professional photographer. Her unique career path includes a brief stint as a dolphin trainer, and over two decades working in sustainable tourism and education, with a focus on marine and environmental science. Some of her accomplishments include securing over $25 million in grant funding for magnet schools, working with over 500 teachers to help them write and implement engaging curricula, designing over $1 million worth of interactive interpretive exhibits for nature centers and museums, developing international field study trips for teens, and being recognized multiple times by the Lucie Foundation and the International Photography Awards for her nature, wildlife and pet photography.
Having worked in both the tropics and the poles, Lori is particularly inspired by Antarctica, where she has worked for the past 12 years. Her newest venture, The Antarctic Experience, connects like-minded people who are interested in science, conservation, and most especially, all things Antarctica. A new generation of explorers and researchers are creating history on the seventh continent; Lori hopes to share these remarkable advances, as well as the life lessons Antarctica imprints on us.
Hope to see you THIS Thursday, Sept at 6:15pm, at 49 West! Please call and reserve you space; thanks!

Next Month on Oct. 25 DNR fisheries biologist Erik Zlokovitz will talk with us about “Fishing in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay Waters”

Farewell concert for Tim Leahey
The Shook/Russo 5tet has been performing together since 2005 in the mid-Atlantic region. Their focus has always been to compose and perform their own original music within the jazz idiom, honoring the masters by carrying on the tradition. Be it through blues, swing, bebop, soul jazz, or more modern funk and groove, the group has developed an incredible and unique sound by merging the diverse backgrounds of each of these fine musicians into one voice. The result is a whirlwind of grooves, melodies, and diverse textures that are a true delight to hear. Collectively, the members of the Shook/Russo 5tet have performed extensively throughout the United States, as well as performed in Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean and at festivals such as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival, the Stan Getz Jazz Festival, the East Coast Jazz Festival, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Telluride Jazz Festival, the Wall Street Jazz Festival and the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival to name a few. They currently have two CDs out on Summit Records, and will be releasing a new album later this year, featuring all new music by members of the band.
