Our team had a very eventful week at the ArcticNet Annual Scientific Meeting in Winnipeg, Canada, held 5th - 9th December, 2016. Everyone engaged with student day and the ASM, including posters, presentations, networking, supporting colleagues and building new relationships with Inuit, University, Government and NGO researchers.
Congratulations to:
