Amy,

Wishing you post haste with your P.H.D. You are “in the group of leaders” that will help save the planet. What an awesome undertaking.

Speaking for humanity…

I love you and we all love you!

Dear Amy,
I am very interested in your work and I would like to know more details about it. Last week I wrote you an email…
I hope everything is alright.

Beautiful video.

I like the cinematography, but also the soundtrack ;-) … the wind, the mosquitoes buzzing, the bird calls… I can almost smell the tundra…

Thanks!

Ian

Those are bug jackets. They are ‘charged’ with >90% deet and stored in a plastic ziploc bag. They act as a mosquito deterrent. Overall though, you have to enter a zen-like state so that you are one with the mosquitoes to survive on particularly bad days.

I really liked your video about vegetation research in Alaska. It must be hard to concentrate on your work with all those mosquitos! Your field site looks really beautiful though- thanks for sharing.

Are those special hooded robes you wear to protect against the mosquitos?
