The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters, in partnership with the Mead Public Library and Mead Foundation, invites you to explore how the Great Lakes have shaped our sense of place and belonging. With insight from an expert on the science and the Edmund Fitzgerald story, we'll consider how our vulnerability in the face of environmental forces connects us across time and region.

Dr. Steve Ackerman, Wisconsin Academy Fellow and atmospheric scientist, will guide attendees through the weather science, ship design, and cultural legacy behind one of the Great Lakes' most enduring maritime stories.
