Karl Horeis: "See all the light-tan colored area? That's where the Bering Land Bridge was between what it is now Alaska and Russia. All of that area would have been above sea level. It wasn't just a thin peninsula, it was a vast area for those early settlers to explore and hunt on. As you can imagine, many of their sites were submerged by the rising sea waters. Researchers believe that many of the sites we have today were used only as temporary hunting sites and that many more permanent sites were submerged." Kotzebue, Alaska.

Being a scientist really appealed to me because I was really excited about the opportunity to be curious about the world and to try to answer questions that interested me about the natural world.

One of the most challenging things about being a teacher is to get students truly interested in what they're learning.

One of the most rewarding things about being a scientist is the discovery of new knowledge. You get to go out and ask questions that nobody has asked before, use your imagination to see the world around you and become excited about discovering new knowledge and new ideas.
