Talking Trash: Cleaning up Marine Debris Before it Reaches the Sea by Pamela Kellett
Abstract: A daily walk to work in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor inspired the invention of a hydro and solar powered machine that continuously cleans rivers during storm events. Today there are three water wheel powered trash interceptors working in three different watersheds to keep floating trash and debris from entering the Patapsco River. With the addition of googly eyes these machines have taken on personalities and are a social media sensation. Due to its unique design and effectiveness it has garnered many awards and international attention. It has been featured in National Geographic, Popular Science, and CNN and many other media outlets. A winner of the prestigious architectural “Highest honors for Excellence in Waterfront Design” award, the trashwheel is proving to be a successful interim solution for cities as they educate about the impacts of stormwater runoff, and improve trash collecting infrastructure.

About the Speaker: Pamela Kellett has worked as an Environmental Scientist for Clearwater Mills since its inception in 2007. She helps determine hydrologic flow and has travelled to Panama to evaluate the potential for implementing waterwheel technology in Panama City. She has a Masters of Science in Environmental Science and Policy from Johns Hopkins University and is married to the Trashwheel’s inventor and builder, John Kellett. Prior to working with Clearwater Mills she was captain of the schooner “Lady Maryland” and then taught a science based curriculum at a nature preschool in Pasadena Md. She was raised in Annapolis and vowed to never live in Anne Arundel County where she presently resides with her husband, 2 children, 1 dog, 1 cat and 8 chickens.

Hope to see you THIS Thursday, August 30th at 6:15pm, at 49 West!

And on Sept 27, Lori Gross will present at on Antarctic Citizen Science!

Cheers!
Tracy Gill and Andy Loftus

Rejecting the confining roles of strict categorization, the Jason Anick/Jason Yeager Quartet draws on the wide swath of musical interests of its co-leaders, blending straight-ahead and post-bop jazz, world music, funk and pop, eagerly embracing what Anick and Yeager have defined as “jazz without borders.” Their debut album, United, displayed the virtuosic talents of both of these formidable instrumentalists. Featuring Jazz elites like Jason Palmer and George Garzone, United, garnered rave reviews including 4.5 stars from Downbeat Magazine.

One of the youngest violin professors at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, Anick is considered “a rising star in the world of jazz violin and mandolin” (Downbeat Magazine). In addition to leading his own contemporary jazz ensemble and performing with the Rhythm Future Quartet, Anick has been touring and recording with Grammy award-winning Nashville guitar virtuoso John Jorgenson since 2008 when he was recruited while still a senior at the Hartt Conservatory.Over the past few years, Jason has been focusing on arranging and composing for the Rhythm Future Quartet, which he started with Finnish guitarist Olli Soikkeli. With performances all over the U.S. and Europe, the Rhythm Future Quartet is rapidly becoming one of the preeminent Gypsy jazz groups in the country.
