As part of the Jerry March Memorial Lecture and the Joseph J. Napolitano Memorial Lecture series, scientist Roger Payne and actress Lisa Harrow will present 鈥淪eaChange: Reversing the Tide鈥� on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. in the 茄子视频 Performing Arts Center Concert Hall, 1 South Avenue, Garden City, NY.

Payne and Harrow use science and poetry to argue that the human species is an integral part of life鈥檚 complex web, and that our survival requires that we attend not just to our own well-being, but also to the well-being of all life on Earth. Due to their involvement in environmental concerns, Lisa Harrow and Roger Payne have also written and performed 鈥淟essons from Copernicus鈥�, a blend of art and science that demonstrates how mankind has gone wrong. 鈥淪eaChange: Reversing the Tide鈥� is free and open to the public.

Studying the behavior of whales since 1967, Dr. Roger Payne has led more than 100 expeditions to all of the world鈥檚 oceans and studied every species of baleen whale in the wild. Founder and president of Ocean Alliance, Dr. Payne has recently completed the Voyage of the Odyssey, a five-year, around-the-world research expedition to measure pollution levels in the ocean. Along with Scott McVay, Dr. Payne is best known for his discovery that humpback whales sing, and the theory that the sounds of fin and blue whales can be heard across vast distances. Roger Payne pioneered many of the benign research techniques now used throughout the world to study free-swimming whales, and has trained many of the current leaders in whale research, both in America and abroad. One of his three articles in National Geographic Magazine contained a record of whale sounds and his other publications include the book,听Among Whales听and three recordings composed by whales but arranged and played by humans: 鈥淪ongs of the Humpback Whale鈥�, 鈥淒eep Voices鈥�, and 鈥淲hales Alive鈥�. His films have received seven awards including two Emmy nominations and an Emmy for best interview. He received his B.A. degree from Harvard University, and his Ph.D. from Cornell University.
