There's No Place Like Nome:
Science Nuggets from the Last Frontier
Fairbanks: February 5
Anchorage: February 6
With a few dozen active volcanoes, more earthquakes than any other state, and more caribou than people, Alaska is different from the other 49 states. For more than a decade, Ned Rozell has written about the amazing scientific aspects of Alaska as the science writer for the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Trekking the state, and interviewing countless scientists, Rozell has accumulated a wealth of knowledge on the rich scientific landscape Alaska offers. In his lecture, Rozell will highlight the variety of features and creatures that make Alaska like no other place on the planet.
 Ned Rozell is a science writer at UAF’s Geophysical Institute. Since 1994, he’s written the weekly column known as the Alaska Science Forum. The column appears in newspapers throughout Alaska, and is mailed and e-mailed directly to hundreds of eager readers each week. As the resident science writer at the Geophysical Institute, Rozell follows a long tradition of science writing for the general public that begun with the institute’s T. Neil Davis in 1976.
