Instructors: Geneva Mottet and Tyler Stokes
A bit about Geneva: I grew up in Southeast Alaska and the San Juan Islands in Washington state, where I gained a love for the natural world through hiking and fishing. I finished my MS in Physics in 2019 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I currently live on a homestead near Fairbanks and enjoy sharing my interest in science and the natural world through public outreach and a YouTube channel.
A bit about Tyler: Though I work as a geologist, I have a little homestead in Fairbanks with Geneva where we fancy ourselves as chicken ranchers. We have been raising chickens for a few years now and look forward to sharing the quirks and joy these delightful critters bring to the table (aside from their eggs, of course)!
