On Tuesday April 1, Boston Globe journalist and Boston University professor David Abel answered questions about his award-winning film “Inundation District.” The film delved into the risks of extreme floods the Seaport region of Boston is facing amidst commercial development. Abel was inspired by his climate studies that revealed grave statistics. “I have covered report after report after report with projections about how our seas are likely to rise over the coming decades,” Abel said. “And it would seem, as I would get each new report, that the worst case projections would only get [more] dire. That left me feeling like this was a really significant story that needs to be told in ways that are hard to just tell in print.”

Above is a photo of the 2014 Mr. Wayland High School, the first time the event was held. This year, the event will include females. “I think there's a stigma against girls just being outgoing and showing off. A lot of the routines in the past years have been provocative, and if a girl does something provocative there is a bigger consequence for her than it is for a guy,” senior Rachel Lorenc said.
