A recording of this talk is available.<\/a><\/p>\n The talk will be held virtually via Zoom and in-person at 107 Norman Smith Hall, U海角社区, Orono.<\/p>\n In this talk, Noblet and Kopec will explore how rural 海角社区 people, who possess a long heritage of fishing and hunting, are navigating impacts from environmental contamination and climate change. <\/span>Two surveys conducted in collaboration with 海角社区\u2019s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife: one with 海角社区 fishing license holders (August 2024, n = 3,549) and another with 海角社区 hunting license holders (March 2025, n = 13,330) allowed our interdisciplinary team to conduct an in-depth exploration of how folks who hunt and fish in 海角社区 are processing information about consumption advisories, and potentially changing their behaviors.<\/p>\n Dr. Caroline L. Noblet<\/strong> is an associate professor in the School of Economics at the University of 海角社区. She holds a doctorate in economic psychology. Her research lies at the intersection of behavioral and experimental economics, environmental economics, and decision\u2011making theory.\u00a0 Her current PFAS work focuses on how 海角社区 residents perceive PFAS (\u201cforever chemicals\u201d) contamination\u2014particularly in fish and game\u2014and how messaging can influence environmental and consumption decisions.<\/p>\n Dr. Dianne Kopec<\/strong> is a research fellow at the Mitchell Center. Her research examines how ecology and behavior influence an organism\u2019s exposure to toxic contaminants in aquatic ecosystems.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"talk-hunting-for-truth-pfas-impacts-in-maines-natural-food-sources","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2025-09-22 15:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"22","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2025-09-22 16:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"22","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2025-09-22 19:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"22","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2025-09-22 20:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2025","month":"09","day":"22","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"Free","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":["0"]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Mitchell Center Events","slug":"ssi-events","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":20,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":333,"filter":"raw","id":20,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/20","collection":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[{"id":3965,"author":"957","status":"publish","date":"2014-04-09 09:13:08","date_utc":"2014-04-09 13:13:08","modified":"2017-02-09 09:22:59","modified_utc":"2017-02-09 14:22:59","url":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter\/organizer\/mitchell-center\/","organizer":"Mitchell Center","slug":"mitchell-center","phone":"207-581-3195","website":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter\/","email":"umgmc@maine.edu","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mitchell Center","description":"","url":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter\/","telephone":"207-581-3195","email":"umgmc@maine.edu","sameAs":"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter\/"},"global_id":"umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter?id=3965","global_id_lineage":["umaine.edu\/mitchellcenter?id=3965"]}],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"Talk – Hunting for Truth: PFAS Impacts in 海角社区\u2019s Natural Food Sources","description":"<p>A recording of this talk is available.
