May 7, 2021 5:00 pmDr. Mona Hanna-Attisha 2021 poster
Bio Hanna_Attisha
The Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series Planning Committee is pleased to announce the 6th annual event featuring a moderated conversation with Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and Enrique Cerna. This will be a virtual presentation on Friday, May 7th starting at 5 PM. Like previous in-person lectures, this one will feature a Trudy Tribute speaker and audience Q & A. Unlike other lectures, however, it will be one day only, and it will not be recorded. For more details, including the link for the program, please see the attached flyer.
Dr. Hannah-Attisha is the physician who went public with the Flint water crisis, challenged the erroneous statements of the Michigan Governor and the findings of the State Health Department, and made the tragic lead poisoning, primarily affecting thousands of young children, a national issue. Mr. Cerna is a well-known Northwest regional broadcast journalist who was affiliated with KCTS for many years.
For more information about Dr. Mona, a true national hero, and why we are excited to have her as our 6th Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series speaker, please see the attached biography.
I hope you will share this announcement with your friends, neighbors, and associates and join us on the 7th of May.
Please help us make this memorable event an outstanding success.
Sincerely,
Marshall Goldberg
Chair, The Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series Planning Committee

May 10, 2021 10:00 amRestoring Prairies and Restoring Life on Whidbey Island
Dr. Robert K. Pelant, a veterinarian, has lived or worked in over 50 countries. His vocation has been focused on sustainable development through food production and security, human and animal health, and transformational education.
Since moving from Thailand to Whidbey Island, Dr. Pelant has founded the Pacific Rim Institute (PRI) for Environmental Stewardship on the site of the old State Game Farm (Pheasant Farm) in Coupeville. PRI is a nonprofit dedicated to practical education and restoration of endangered ecosystems including the rare native prairie at their 175 acre site.
Learn about the history of the prairies on Whidbey Island with a focus on glacial/geological, cultural and ecological forces. Explore the challenges and lessons learned in restoring some of these prairies - specifically what constitutes restoration and why it is important.
PRI is open for tours and has facilities for use by the public, service clubs and others. There are many volunteer and educational opportunities. PRI's Prairie Days are May 14-15 and include educational sessions about the Asian Giant Hornets, native plant and honey sales, birding tours, prairie and savanna tours, and the newest information from Puget Sound Energy on practical and money/energy saving practices you can employ.

Featured Speaker: Erin Gless on "Humpback Whales of the Salish Sea: Past, Present, and Future"
Erin Gless is the new government relations and community outreach director at Pacific Whale Watch Association and former Lead Naturalist at Island Adventure Cruises
Humpback whales are among the most recognizable and beloved whales throughout the oceans. After decades of industrialized whaling, these behemoths were almost lost from the Salish Sea forever. In just the last few years, however, humpback whales have made a triumphant return to local waters, now numbering hundreds of individuals. Join us as we learn about their complex social interactions and surprising migration patterns as well as what challenges humpback whales might face in a modern Salish Sea environment not yet adapted to their presence.
Erin Gless holds a B.S. in Biology with Marine Emphasis from Western Washington University and has been a passionate member of the whale watching community since 2008.
