Lithium plays a major role in moving the global clean energy economy forward and is at the heart of conversations in Maine and around the world. Inspired by the exhibit at the Maine Mineral & Gem Museum in Bethel, their curator, Myles Felch, will talk about where lithium is found, how it is used, and why it is relevant to Maine.

This presentation is free of charge, and will be offered virtually (no in-person option). Please register to join us on Zoom with the button below.

This program is part of the Wilson Museum’s program series Connecting to Collections: Curiosity, Culture, Climate made possible through the generous support of Bangor Savings Bank.
