A unique feature of the PolarTREC program this year is the inclusion of both formal and informal educators. During orientation I connected with Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) exhibit developer Allyson Woodward. Both of us were assigned PolarTREC expeditions focused on permafrost in Alaska. So on my return from Alaska, I was able to arrange a layover in Portland to visit Allyson and the museum. OMSI has developed a unique, immersive, and interactive exhibit on permafrost and climate change. One of my outreach goals post-expedition is to work with Allyson and the team at the museum to bring the exhibit to the Boston area.
