Matter Matters
By Jodie Mack
Free & open to the public at JAM
Weekdays 9AM-5PM
Now through April 28
Animators are gardeners. The very definition of animation illuminates the medium’s capacity to bring things to life. These films use plants and other natural materials to center the animation as
a site through which to consider grief, constant change, and transformation: a site that resists taxonomical classification and the rigidity of natural history in favor of illuminating the ineffable. LEARN MORE.

What's for dessert?
Sweet Deal. Lava cakes! Cobblers! Brownies! Caramel peanut popcorn bars! What's for Dessert: Simple Recipes for Dessert People author Claire Saffitz, a former Bon Appetit editor, spoke in Norwich thanks to the Norwich Bookstore. The Paris-trained chef found writing the book "fun and liberating...I felt defiant by featuring ingredients that are not sexy—but are delicious."
Produced by Jordyn Fitch for JAM with the Norwich Bookstore.

"Psilocybin is on track toward medicalization. It will be FDA approved in 2025-2027. There's enough evidence to show it is safe and effective," says the Burlington psychologist.
