What's New in Ultra-Cold

The More You Look

In 2023, long-time manager for the UAMN Genomics Collection, Kyndall Hildebrandt left the position, and Mammals Collection graduate student Mallory Gulbranson took responsibility for the collection’s multiple labs, research support, and cryovats. Director of exhibits and program host, Roger Topp had the opportunity to chat with Kyndall and Mallory about career trajectories and student opportunities, about the inception and growth of this unique museum collection, and what fun lies ahead for research support and for education and public outreach.

The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
