Maine Public is very pleased to once again be the Atmospheric Media Sponsor for the 2025 Maine Science Festival (MSF). Held in Bangor each March, this year's festival takes place from March 19 to March 23. Like an art festival or film festival, the Maine Science Festival has over seventy events and activities over five days, all focused on science in Maine. Check out the entire program of events HERE.
The MSF is an amazing celebration of all aspects of science and fosters a connection to science for people from an amazing variety of backgrounds. Individuals who may not have formerly seen themselves as 'interested’ in science or even identified as 'scientists' walk away from each festival inspired to pursue new passions, ask new questions, and communicate the value of science as practitioners themselves. There is guaranteed to be something of interest for everyone!
For more details, updates, and information, visit the festival’s website at mainesciencefestival.org.

On Thursday, Mar. 20, at 11:30 a.m., the Rockport Public Library will host a free program called “Resting into Spring.” In this time of seasonal transition, local rest coach Hester Brooks will offer guided relaxation practices around the theme of new beginnings. Participants are encouraged to dress in cozy clothing. The library will be providing warm beverages and soothing snacks.
Hester Brooks is on a mission to create a well-rested world, one woman at a time. She found the Daring to Rest method at a time when she was physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted and it transformed her sleep and her life. Brooks, a Daring to Rest Certified Rest Coach and Yoga Nidra facilitator, offers 1:1 coaching and deep rest events to help women identify what is keeping them in a cycle of fatigue, start a rest practice, and make decisions that support their future rested self.
