Saving Our National Parks

Join us this month for a special event featuring award-winning local author, former park ranger and dedicated DLiA Board Member, Steve Kemp, for a special conversation on the extraordinary partnership that helped protect America’s most iconic natural treasures. Kemp will share insights from his newly published book, An Exaltation of Parks: John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s Crusade to Save America's Wonderlands, which uncovers how Rockefeller—working alongside National Park Service visionaries Stephen Mather, Horace Albright, and Arno Cammerer—shaped the national park system we know today.

At a time when America’s national parks face mounting visitation pressures and under-resourced management, this story of bold conservation philanthropy and collaboration offers lessons and inspiration for the challenges ahead.

Grab a beverage, meet fellow conservation enthusiasts, and enjoy an evening of storytelling, history, and hope for the future of our public lands.

Conservation on Tap is a speaker series held every third Wednesday at Schulz Bräu Brewing Company and is hosted by Discover Life in America—science partner of Great Smoky Mountains National Park since 1998.

Scitechseries extends a warm invitation to join us at the upcoming "3rd World Congress on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation" (WCPR 2026), which will take place as a Hybrid Event in Osaka, Japan, from March 26-27, 2026.
This HYBRID EVENT allows you to participate in person at Osaka, Japan, or virtually from your home or workplace.
This conference will revolve around the theme “Exploring Progress and Developments to Enhance Physical Medicine Research."
WCPR 2026 conference aims to foster discussions on pivotal professional matters within the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Practical applications and evidence-based interventions will be examined, with plenary talks, keynote sessions, and oral and poster presentations designed to emphasize the significance of communication, collaboration, and interdisciplinary teamwork in delivering rehabilitation services. The patient's perspective, a crucial aspect, will be deeply integrated into the scientific program.
The conference will serve as a global platform for physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals to come together and exchange insights in education, research, and clinical practice. In particular, advancements in biomedicine and assistive technologies for individuals with disabilities will be highlighted as key breakthroughs.
Your participation will contribute significantly to shaping the future direction of physical medicine and rehabilitation.
