Jump In Where You Are

Life moves quickly, but it can feel like there is always time downstream to take care of the things you mean to, or that you want to. Planning your estate—even when you wonder “what estate?”—will help you put provisions in place for yourself and your loved ones. The stream keeps moving, so it’s never too early, or too late, to start. Just jump in where you are!

207-725-3172 giftplanning@bowdoin.edu bowdoin.edu/gift-planning today on the global distribution of deep-ocean sand-rich sedimentary systems (known as turbidites). Our compilation of fifty-nine early Eocene turbidite systems distributed across marine sedimentary basins of all continental margins (except Antarctica) suggests that, despite high sea level, climate-driven increases in sediment supply may significantly contribute to the global distribution and volume of coarse-grained deep-sea deposition. This work has implications for assessing climate change impacts and the response of natural systems (both terrestrial and marine) to these changes, as well as for understanding subsea hazards (and their impact on, e.g., offshore platforms, submarine communications cables, and offshore wind farms), and for understanding global subsurface distributions of reservoirs suitable for carbon capture and sequestration. The story has been picked up by outlets in India, Indonesia, Spain, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Guatemala, Panama, Australia, Ireland, the UK, and the UAE. In other news, The Manic Monologues has been doing wonderfully lately! There have been a number of terrific in-person live shows since I visited Bowdoin in April 2022. For Mental Health Awareness Month (May 2022), there were three productions: one by Miss Porter’s School in Connecticut, one by New Tampa Players and Tampa Bay Crisis Center in Florida, and an Off West End premiere in London, UK (TMM’s European debut!). Hawai’i Pacific University put on a show in December, and in October there was a major professional production in Nairobi, Kenya (TMM’s African debut!). Lupita Nyong’o’s parents, Governor/Hon. Prof. Anyang’ Nyong’o and Dorothy Nyong’o, attended the premiere. The production was named one of Kenya’s ‘Outstanding Plays of 2022’ and earned seven nominations for the upcoming 2023 Kenya Theatre Awards. In April 2023, one of Texas’s leading theatre companies, WaterTower Theatre, will run the show on their main stage, set to live music for the first time. A theater company in Aotearoa/New Zealand will bring the play to life for New Zealand’s September Mental Health Awareness Week, and a theater company in Slovakia is working on a translation of the play. In December 2022, I shared the film via a screening for Australia-based NGO Orygen’s inaugural ASEAN-Australia Youth Mental Health Fellows (with attendees from over ten countries) and soon will share the film for a World Bank anti-stigma event and an event for University of Illinois College of Medicine. Lots of excitement!!”

2015From a bowdoin.edu/news story, February 17, 2023. In February, Isaiah Bolden moderated a discussion on climate change with Vice President Kamala Harris at Georgia Tech, where he is an assistant professor at the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Accompanying Harris on her visit to Georgia Tech was her senior climate advisor, Ike Irby ’09. This is at least the second time that Bolden has had encounters with White House officials. Six years ago, while in French Polynesia researching coral reef ecosystems, he ran into President Barack Obama, who was there touring research projects in Tetiaroa.

With its abundance of trees and rivers, Maine was once home to a booming pulp and paper industry. While still important to the state, the sector has shrunk significantly in recent years, with employment falling from more than ten thousand some twenty years ago to around three thousand today. This has been challenging for the state’s mill towns, many of them reliant on the paper industry for their economic survival. We look at a handful of them and how they’ve adjusted.
