What's happening today
Deadlines and reminders
The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy at the International Arctic Research
Center is hosting the webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 14 from 11 a.m. to noon via Zoom. Calum Cunningham, from the University of Washington, will draw a link between seasonal
changes in driving difficulty and moose movements. We can use this knowledge to predict
the times and places where collision risk is highest, and ultimately reduce avoidable
human and animal suffering. To learn more, visit the ACCAP website.
 The UAF community is invited to participate in UA Giving Day 2023 on Feb. 22-23. This
online fundraising event is a chance for alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends
to support UAF. This year, we want to increase the number of UAF champions to help make a positive
impact on our students' lives. You can help meet this goal by signing up as a UAF champion for Giving Day 2023. Other ways to get involved include making a gift on Giving Day and sharing your story with friends and family on social media and other communication
channels. You can also help recruit champions by reaching out to your friends, family
and peers to ask them to join us.
Since 2016, the Biomedical Learning and Student Training (BLaST) program at UAF has
highlighted scientists from all biomedical fields through its Scientist of the Month
articles. BLaST Scholar and UAF biological sciences undergraduate student Christian
Bolton was selected as the February 2023 BLaST Scientist of the Month.
