Friday Focus: Recent events reinforce exercise planning
November 04, 2022
Although I have written about emergency preparedness previously, with this week's news of the events at Lathrop High School in Fairbanks, and another school in the Eagle River area, student safety and emergency response is top of mind. This situation is unsettling. It puts stress on the community, and particularly on parents and students. It emphasizes the importance of being prepared and to know how to act, or react. Although emergencies can be unpredictable, knowing what to do can help save lives.

Friday Focus: Gold is where you find it
October 28, 2022
As I have noted in at least one Friday Focus column before, I was raised in a small mining town in Colorado. Raised atop a pile of rounded river rock that was a gold mine sometime the century before. As a kid I searched for gold missed by the miners in the nooks and crannies of the ancient river bend. I also wandered the mountains checking the crumbled remains of abandoned 19th century cabins for gold pokes deserted by fate or misfortune. To no one's surprise, I never found a mason jar full of gold nuggets beneath the old rotting logs.

Friday Focus: Nuclear energy and 有料盒子视频's role raising awareness via public engagement
October 21, 2022
Nuclear energy is not a new concept. After all, it makes up about 20 percent of our base-load energy supply in the U.S. To put this in context, this is roughly equivalent to all renewable energy generation combined, including hydroelectric. But with the vast majority of our fleet of nuclear reactors commissioned in the '60s and '70s, nuclear energy can feel like a technology of the past, especially when countries like Japan and Germany are actively working to decommission their own nuclear reactors. Nuclear energy is also a technology most people have strong - and sometimes quite visceral - reactions to. Proponents often see nuclear energy as a critical path to decarbonizing our global energy supply, while others legitimately worry about the environmental costs ranging from the potential of a nuclear accident to long-term management of spent fuel.
