Mr. Crumrine,
Out of this trip and your entire experience with Arcus you have done so far: which do you find the most rewarding and why? Also which experiences you have had so far have you learned the most from? Thanks, Ariel |

Ariel,
Thanks for the question. The most interesting experience thus far has been learning about the native population (eskimos) in Alaska. Our meeting with Sean Topkok while we were in Fairbanks was especially informative. He told us a lot about the history of interactions between the Inupiat (natives) and scientists. Sometimes these interactions did not always go well and some scientists in the past did not give due respect to theknowledge that the Inupiat had acquired. Part of Sean's current job is to empasize that native knowledge should at least be considered equal to scientific knowledge, to encourage the idea that one can learn from the other. I have also been reading a lot of nature guides for the Northern Alaska area and I am really excited to get up there again and look at the flowers and birds for real. I'll make sure to send lots of pictures. Thanks, Tom |

Now if global warming is getting so serious shouldn't president Bush be doing something about it like finding alternatives for fuel and why hasn't the science community tried harder to get his attention? Not saying Scientist haven't tried but what is preventing us from getting him to act?
