Their full agenda is online here.

• The John Drew Theatre at Guild Hall presents a free staged reading of Barbara Novak’s “The Ape & The Whale: Darwin & Melville in Their Own Words” tonight at 7:30 p.m. Ms. Novak has artfully put Darwin and Melville in the same room, imagined their intense conversation, and juxtaposed their actual words into a vivid dialogue.

• The Peconic Estuary Program recently prepared a video that describes some climate change impacts that are already affecting eastern Long Island and what the group is doing to conduct an EPA assessment to help respond to climate change risks.

And that’s the way things look at dawn’s light here today.
