The More You Look
Welcome to The More You Look, a production of the UA Museum of the North and your behind-the-scenes journey into museum collections, research, exhibits, and public programming from Fairbanks Alaska. Join us as we talk about special exhibitions in development, and changes to look for in the permanent galleries. Not just the what, but the how and why. Learn about new programs and new ways to get involved. Curators will discuss the latest field season and collections managers what new finds have come to our labs to be cataloged, studied, and made available to researchers worldwide. We’ll get a look at major projects on the horizon and notable ones from years past. We’ll visit the museum labs–and field camps throughout Alaska and gain a better understanding of not only what this museum is within and without its walls, but quite possibly what discussions take place within any art and natural and cultural history museum that you might venture inside.
The More You Look is now also a KUAC FM radio show.

In a Time of Change
Mary Beth Leigh is UAF professor of microbiology and Arts-Humanities-science integration, and Director of the In a Time of Change (ITOC) program. Dr. Leigh's work has influenced exhibits at UAMN and found their way into shows and programming for much of the program's 18 years. The episode covers Leigh's influences, some of the history of ITOC, and its past and present influences on UAMN exhibits.
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.
