FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Since University of Alaska Fairbanks is the only American university based in the Arctic, it’s only logical that students in disciplines across the board conduct research based in the circumpolar north. In anticipation of the upcoming International Polar Year (IPY), a group of young scientists at University of Alaska Fairbanks have formed an IPY Young Researchers Network (IPY YRN) with the hopes of spreading the word about the exciting potential of this historic event.
