Dr. Eric Roy will present the University of Maine’s fifth annual Libby Lecture in Natural Resource Policy at noon on November 8 at the Buchanan Alumni House.
Roy’s talk, titled “We Understand the Problem. Now What? The Opportunity for Scientists to Pursue Advocacy & Entrepreneurship” will discuss why scientists are uniquely positioned to lead advocacy efforts and develop entrepreneurial solutions to the “big problems” that face our world and discuss examples of the types of unique challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned that accompany these types of public-forward pursuits.
