Six students from the Rural Alaska Honors Institute will be living the life of an arctic field scientist at the Institute of Arctic Biology Toolik Field Station on the North Slope this week as part of a special research course hosted by scientists from UAF and the National Science Foundation’s Arctic Systems Science thermokarst project.  The students, selected because of their interest in science and willingness to camp for a week without a shower, will have the opportunity to hear, see, feel and smell what it’s like to do research in the field. Read more about it in the online UAF Newsroom.
