After 12 years of service, Alison York has left ARCUS for a position at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Center for Alaska Native Health Research (CANHR). Alison served as Witness the Arctic editor since 1998, investigating a wide range of arctic research issues and initiatives and working closely with the research community. While employing her breadth of scientific expertise, Alison played a critical role in newsletter content and development during her tenure.
In December 2009, Alison accepted a position with UAF's CANHR, which, along with eight other institutions, is building and implementing a national research resource discovery network prototype. Alison will be working with biomedical investigators to inventory their research resources and helping develop a system for the resources to be searched and shared.
Alison earned a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of California Berkeley in 1990; her research interests are in comparative neuroanatomy and behavior.
ARCUS would like to thank Alison for many years of hard work and wish her well in her new endeavors.
