    I have at least one more journal and a movie in the works for the end of our research in Barrow, however I didn't want you to think I disappeared all together! I'll post those in the next few weeks so keep an eye out, but for now I thought you might enjoy knowing what we're up to! In a way our research continues, just in a different manner and place. I'm now in Point Hope Alaska!

    For research to really matter, people need to know about it! This includes other researchers but also students, community members...really just about everyone! So, I'm here in Point Hope for several days along with Dr. Carin Ashjian where we're meeting with students and faculty at the Tikigaq School. Our goal is to help them understand the oceanographic research that focuses on a portion of the Beaufort and Chukchi Sea that connects with the ocean off of their own coast.

    Tengo por lo menos una revista mas y una película esta en preparación para el fin de nuestra investigación en Barrow, sin embargo no quería que piensen que he desaparecido totalmente! Los publicare dentro de unas semanas así que pelen un ojo, pero por ahora pensé que disfrutarían saber en que andamos! De cierta manera nuestra investigación continúa simplemente de manera diferente en un lugar diferente. Ahora estoy en Point Hope Alaska!

    Para que investigaciones valgan la pena, gente necesita saber acerca de esto! Eso incluye otros investigadores igual que estudiantes, miembros de la comunidad… en realidad casi todos! Así que estoy aquí en Point Hope con la Dra. Carin Ashjian donde nos reunimos con estudiantes y maestros del Colegio Tikigaq. Nuestro gol es ayudarles a entender la investigación oceanográfica que enfoca una sección de los mares Beaufort y Chukchi que se conectan con el océano a las afueras de su orilla.
