One of the best parts of my job is doing outreach in our communities and working with students. Hibernating animals are a wonderful tool for engagement, and a tangible example of how extraordinary nature can be. I do outreach presentations and hibernation demonstrations for local schools, national parks and groups. If you are either interested in learning more about opportunities in the lab, or would like to discuss scheduling outreach events, please do not hesitate to contact me at sarice@alaska.edu.
