Microscopically Going Where No One Has Gone Before
	UMaine mycologist plays critical role in investigations of amphibian die-offs worldwide.
Evolving Before Our Eyes
	Most people consider evolution to be ancient history, but not biologist Michael Kinnison. Kinnison studies Trinidadian guppies — half-inch long, brightly colored inhabitants of jungle rivers — and other fish to understand the dynamics of contemporary evolution. Using modern advances in genetics, he is helping to cast new light on Darwinian theory and rewrite conservation strategies.
Lobster Lines
	MFor more than a quarter-century, anthropologist James Acheson has studied the age-old self-management strategies of Maine’s lobster industry. From the unmarked yet well-defined lobstering territories to the unspoken yet ever-present culture of resource conservation, the traditional model has the potential to inform other fisheries now in crisis.
The Common Roots of Environmental History
	The history of environmental conservation has a grassroots start. It springs from a broad spectrum of ordinary people who saw these resources as their own legacy and set out to protect them, according to historian Richard Judd.
Transforming Technology
	We hear it all the time: Technological advances are changing our lives like never before. But UMaine historian Howard Segal reminds us that technological advances changed society throughout the ages — and they didn’t do it alone.
Trust on the Line
	Trust is what we do everyday. What we don’t do enough, says UMaine philosopher Jessica Miller, is stop to understand the basis for the complex emotional attitude that we use to interpret people and situations.
