I was diagnosed with cancer in April. Unfortunately, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy couldn’t tame this, and my medical team is now focused on keeping me comfortable while I spend the last chapter of my life with my partner, family, and friends. 1/4 Science is one of the loves of my life, and I wish with my whole heart that I could continue the work that I started. The opportunity to support future scientists studying earth or environmental science in Arctic or alpine regions is the next best thing. 2/4

For #FieldworkFriday I'm having a little #FieldworkFOMO, so here's a field tidbit from a few years back on Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin Island) involving a polar bear 🐻‍❄️and creative shelter problem solving ⛺️ (1/n) It was day 4 of 21 days out in a remote part of Baffin Island, and things were going well--mostly good weather and productive science-ing. We woke up early to collect repeat water isotope samples from a pond near camp before planning to move camp up valley to another lake. (2/n)
