Farmington, ME, 04938

"Our statewide antiwar coalition will bring its monthly protest series back to Farmington in November.

"Student organizers from #UMF will join us and I'm sure we'll get an update on their ongoing efforts to pressure the #UMaine system to #divest from #Israel.

"News of atrocities in #NorthernGaza continue to horrify the world as well as airstrikes in #Lebanon, #Syria, and #Yemen with many innocent victims.

"The U.S. response? Tell reporters that Israel has the 'right' to target #civilians meanwhile sending the #THAAD missile 'defense' system and U.S. troops to operate it!

"Bring your own signs and banners, or use ours. Join us for a late lunch afterwards.

Lone man protests for #Palestine before graduating at #UMaine

"As pro-Palestine demonstrations, counter-demonstrations and police actions roiled university campuses across the country, things were pretty quiet at the University of Maine commencement Saturday morning.

"The only visible protester of the current U.S. and Israeli policy in #Gaza was graduating senior Declan Riorden of Bangor.

"Wearing a #Palestinian shawl representing the war-torn country’s fields, fishing and trade routes, Riorden said he was protesting in support of the Palestinian people and for accountability from this country."

Is #UMaine ’s Experimental 3D-Printed Dwelling the Future of Affordable #Housing? https://downeast.com/home-and-garden/umaine-3d-printed-home/

I almost paid a large dontation to get these last year. Apparently, lucky I waited a year.

It's a shame. They were wonderful trees and hopefully will make a comeback in coming decades.

Nice to see #maine 's #universityofnewengland and #umaine are involved.

I got my degrees at #UMaine, lived in Bangor for two years after school, and then in Waterville for another two. I return to #Maine often to visit my brother. My parents, other brother, and sister-in-law are all buried there.

I know enough about #Lewiston to recall classmates from that area calling it “LA", because it was often called Lewiston-Auburn, encompassing its neighbor-city. "I'm going home to LA this weekend!" and so on.

So that's all that in my thoughts and in my heart right now.

#UMaineSea2Sky Day 2: Our #UMaine team walked to the terminus of Sitaantaagu/Mendenhall #Glacier.

Tremendous recession since last year.

First photo is where we walked onto the glacier one year ago (12 May 2022).

Second photo was taken today from about the same location.

New paper on ocean biophysics combining profiling Bio-Argo floats and satellites
#NASA #UVA #UMaine #OSU #UWashington

-Positive phytoplankton accumulation rates are associated with elevated geostrophic strain and quasigeostrophic upwelling

-Averaged Lagrangian derivatives at straining fronts include positive accumulation rates and a shoaling mixed layer on the less dense side

-Frontal dynamics drive increases in phytoplankton biomass by accelerating cell division rates
primarily through increased available light
