UA president: No systemwide mandate for now, but vaccine requirement coming

The University of Alaska Fairbanks will not be requiring a COVID-19 vaccine at this time, University of Alaska President Pat Pitney announced Monday, but said the school’s status as a federal contractor meant that a mandate was likely coming. Pitney told reporters during a news conference university officials reviewed the legal, health and logistical requirements of implementing a vaccine requirement for the university and decided against it.

How Sea Otters can Fight Climate Change

Sea otters also play a singular role in supporting kelp forests ecosystems in the North Pacific. Few other animals eat as much relative to their weight or play such a pivotal role in maintaining their environment, says Brent Hughes, a marine ecologist studying coastal habitats at Sonoma State University in California. Now, scientists are studying how these marine mustelids may also be climate superheroes. Sea otters help ecosystems capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it as biomass and deep-sea detritus, preventing it from being converted back to carbon dioxide and contributing to climate change.
