I am an Arctic ecologist, who finds her zen outdoors. Clumsy, yet somehow also simultaneously graceful -- I am almost always up for a good boondoggle.

Three months without Miss Teresa, and now her memorial is almost here—somehow it still doesn’t feel real she has left us.

We are collecting photos to share at the Celebration of Life. Please submit yours here: https://t.co/DmVFUA9dby

@TundraTime Among all your science Twitter, glad to see your pure joy of midnight snacking extends beyond TLO.

Getting our science on at the Teshekpuk Lake Observatory. This place is starting to feel a lot like home.

@kmftimm Even in good times - hard to fill field courses in the summer months. Good luck!

@TundraTime Could we have heard about the broken snowmachine in Deadhorse? We were asked if we were the UAF team in need of snowmachine repair. Glad a few mobile mechanics found their way to the cabin!

#itgetsbetter Our lead author, Teresa, cannot accept the cash award as a federal employee. As second author, the check will be sent to me. Tickled. 😊

Our cryptogram specimens from the 2021 field season arrived safely in Russia. Colleagues at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Komarov Botanical Institute will verify species determinations. Misha sent the photo of him and his son with the parcel. Working on the next batch at UAF!

Institute of Arctic Biology’s 2021 Ski Mass race (of sorts). Our team was “Wonder Woman Scientists”. Way to represent -> Dr. Jane Goodall (me, 5A), Dr. Marie Curie (Anja, 5B), and Dr. Rachel Carson (Tako, 5C). ❄️ So flipping fun! 📷: Oivind Toien
