Geophysical Institute Science Writer nrozell [at] gi [dot] alaska [dot] edu (Ned Rozell) will participate in the Discover Alaska Lecture Series by providing a special talk on Wednesday, May 30. "The Top 20 Things You Didn't Know About Alaska" will cover interesting trivia about our state -- from super chickadees to the fact that Alaska shares the same all-time high temperature as Hawaii. You'll be amazed and amused. The talk begins at 7 p.m. in Schaible Auditorium on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus and is free to the public.

Rozell is the long-time author of the Alaska Science Forum and he is the author of three books, including Finding Mars and Walking my Dog, Jane, from Valdez to Prudhoe Bay along the trans-Alaska pipeline.
