Nettie LaBelle-Hamer, vice chancellor for research

Friday Focus: New year, new view: Integrating research

I love math. I always have, but it got super fun once I got into calculus, which was my gateway drug to physics. Now it is such a full blown addiction that I have created a path for myself that ensures both math and science are a part of my everyday life. I am sure most of you reading this are nodding your head and saying, "Yea! I know what you mean!" Or, not. Stay with me anyway. As the vice chancellor focused on research, I think a lot about integration of research into various disciplines, units, and activities. The blinding flash of insight is that I don’t have to create integration because it is already there! Everyone of us has research components of our daily lives to some extent.

During the darkest days of Alaska's winter, black-capped chickadees stuff themselves with enough seeds and frozen insects to survive 18-hour nights.

Report of frog's death greatly exaggerated

Things didn't look good for the five frozen wood frogs. The palm-sized amphibians were hibernating in a box outside Brian Barnes' Fairbanks home a few decades ago. Barnes, director of the Institute of Arctic Biology, and his students were in his living room checking a temperature gauge he recently plucked from the “frog corral.” The temperature at frog level, under a few inches of snow and moss, had dipped to 10 degrees Fahrenheit in December.
