Visit the <a href="https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/lectures/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">UConn Coastal Perspectives website</a> for connection information. These lectures are being offered online and in-person.<h3>Tuesday, April 16, 2024; 7:30 p.m. </h3>
James T. Carlton, Ph.D., Professor of Marine Sciences Emeritus at Williams College and Director Emeritus of the Williams College-Mystic Seaport Maritime Studies Program
Krystal Rose, M.F.A., Curator of Collections, Mystic Seaport Museum
Spineless: The Magical World of Marine Invertebrates, and Perspectives on our Finger on the Pulse of Changes in Coastal Invertebrate Diversity
Join Krystal Rose and Dr. James T. Carlton to learn about one of the latest exhibitions at Mystic Seaport Museum, <a href="https://mysticseaport.org/exhibit/spineless-a-glass-menagerie-of-blaschka-marine-invertebrates/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spineless: A Glass Menagerie of Blaschka Marine Invertebrates</a>. The exhibit explores some of the inspiring ways that people have recorded the ocean’s mesmerizing marine invertebrates, an abundant, diverse, and ubiquitous group of sea creatures including sponges, jellyfish, sea anemones, crustaceans, mollusks (such as sea slugs and octopuses), sea squirts, and many more. They will speak about the major themes of the exhibition, including glassmakers Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka of Dresden, Germany, who in the 19th century produced glass models of spineless sea creatures with meticulously accurate anatomical details and colors; sailors’ drawings and descriptions of marine invertebrates found in logbooks and journals; the preservation of marine invertebrates as “wet specimens,” and contemporary, invertebrate-inspired art. Dr. Carlton will discuss some of the species the Blaschkas created in glass and which live today in our local waters, including some that have since become introduced species around the world. In particular, Dr. Carlton will explore the extent to which we have our “finger on the pulse” of changes in coastal marine invertebrate diversity.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a 2001 Musical Drama which is rated R.
Hedwig, born male as Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G.I. and underwent a Gender Reassignment Surgery in order to marry him and flee to the West. Years later Hedwig is leading her rock band on a tour of the U.S. and telling her life story through a series of concerts at Bilgewater Inn seafood restaurants. Her tour dates coincide with those of arena-rock star Tommy Gnosis, a wide-eyed boy who once loved Hedwig - but then left with all her songs.
This event is free and open to all. There may be snacks available and you can bring your own beverage but alcohol is not permitted. A discussion will follow.
