As of late November 2023, UAMN has more than two dozen university graduate and undergraduate students working with and within the museum collections. That’s two dozen not including all the students that work for the exhibits, operations, visitor services, and education departments. This week, we highlight a discussion with Maggie Harings, master's student in fisheries, and Andres Lopez, museum Curator of Fishes and UAF Associate Professor at the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. They sat with Roger Topp, Director of Exhibits, Design, and Digital Media to talk about Maggie’s research into Chinook Salmon environmental DNA.Salmon eDNA Project Website https://sites.google.com/alaska.edu/salmon-edna-yukon-river-basin/homeThe More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River.
