Allison Bailey’07 conducted research on little auks in 2006. After graduation she went back to the Norwegian Arctic on a Fulbright grant studying Arctic flora. She then went on to get a Master’s of Science degree at University Center of Svalbard where she studied the winter behavior of zooplankton in Arctic fjords. Allison is currently studying birds in the Sierras where she must be right at home because it is cold and snowy there!
