Departing for Alaska…and a request

In a few hours I’ll be leaving for Alaska to attend the PARS summer program on polar aeronomy and radio science. I’ll be returning to the Triangle on August 3rd. I’m looking forward to catching up with Nader and seeing Alaska for the first time. I have no idea on my cell phone coverage or internet access there.

I also have a request for anyone reading this. My friend and apartment-mate since August had a serious problem yesterday evening when training at the pool for her triathlon. She had to be brought back and is in an intensive care unit right now. She’s fighting hard, but I don’t think we’ll know anything for sure for another 48 hours. This trip to Alaska is coming at a bad time for me. In whatever way that is meaningful to you, please wish her a speedy and full recovery. She and her family and I would sincerely appreciate it.
