My View of Life on the Dock
The wisteria around the area caught my attention recently. It’s so striking to find it positioned against our large boulders or along fencelines. The word wisteria evokes whimsy and yet wistfulness. To me, they look a little bit like upside down lupines, which are another favorite of mine. Cheers to the wisteria, though they seem almost at the end of their blooming season.

Since we had no power on Friday morning decided to go out and take some photos. After the rain and wind from Thursday’s Nor’easter, mother nature is in charge. These photos were taken a couple of hours after high tide.

Picture this: you’re sitting in one of Cape Ann’s most beautiful venues, listening to a renowned aging scientist, learning about some of the earth’s longest-lived animals and what they can teach us.
Please join us on Tuesday, June 3rd at Rockport Music for a night of science by the sea with special guest, Steven Austad, Ph.D.
Come to hear Dr. Austad tell stories of some extraordinary animals, considering why, for example, animal species that fly live longer than earthbound species, and why animals found in the ocean live longest of all.
Dr. Austad’s approach to studying aging differs from the usual approach found in the field of aging science. Instead of focusing on species with short lifespans like fruit flies and mice, which are experimentally manageable but unsuccessful at combating aging, he investigates nature’s biggest successes, like a 400-year-old shark or a 200-year-old whale. He suggests we should research long-lived species — instead of those with short lifespans — and use them as models for discovering novel anti-aging products and processes.
Opening remarks and Q & A with Andrea Bodnar, Ph.D., GMGI’s Donald G. Comb Science Director.
Doors open at 5:30pm and the talk begins promptly at 6pm.
This talk is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Space is limited – please click here to register!
