The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium will host a public presentation by Dr. Wallace “J.” Nichols, author of Blue Mind, a New York Times Best Seller. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
Blue Mind combines cutting edge research with compelling personal stories about the remarkable benefits of being in, on, under, or simply near water. Dr. Nichols will discuss how proximity to water can improve performance, increase calm, diminish anxiety, and increase professional success. Blue Mind not only illustrates the crucial importance of our connection to water, it provides a practical blueprint for a better life.
Dr. Nichols has been called “Keeper of the Sea” by GQ Magazine and “a visionary” by Outside Magazine. Formerly a Senior Scientist at Ocean Conservancy, Dr. Nichols has authored more than 200 scientific papers, and publications. He has also lectured in more than 30 countries and in nearly every state.
The event is sponsored by the Mississippi River Network, The Great Lakes and Great Rivers Chapters of the International Erosion Control Association: Great Connections Conference, and the City of Dubuque.
