Emily is the owner of Maine-ly Apples , and an incredibly enthusiastic fruit farmer - although that's our description, not hers. Her work is best described as a true application of what scientists have learned, and her approach to understanding her apples and other fruits is a great overview of how science and the science process gets applied in the "real world". If you’re listening to this near its release date in early March 2025, please considering joining us at the 10th Maine Science Festival later this month: March 19th-23rd.

Ian is a forester with Seven Island Land Company, but one who is not out in the forest every day. His work is deeply data heavy, and his forest management techniques rely on the data collected not just by the foresters in the woods and (significantly) on other, more technology-reliant techniques. Odds are, the image you have of how a forester sustainably manages the woods is not exactly aligned with how it's done.
