“Tahoe’s Dogs Of Winter Do Summer”
Tahoe Quarterly
After the snow melts and skis are stored, all thoughts turn to summer at Lake Tahoe. But for “Dr. Snow” Hunter, an affable 6-year-old golden retriever, the last scent of winter is hard to let go. That’s his favorite time of year, when he gets to perform the work he was born to do.
As a seventh-generation avalanche dog at Sierra-at-Tahoe, he is “very driven to do his job,” says his handler, Shannon Maguire. She is a snow safety officer and ski patroller at Sierra-at-Tahoe during the winter, and a wilderness ranger with the U.S. Forest Service in the summer. Together, she and Hunter are a formidable team.

I'm one of those people with annoyingly perfect teeth, and at 32 years old I have never had a cavity. Last year, my dentist even kept a scan of my tooth as an example of an ideal tooth. The point is, I was blessed with lovely teeth genes and haven’t ever worried too much about my chompers.

“The Future of the World Heritage Convention for Marine Conservation”
United Nations
The ocean, much like space, is one of the last frontiers. And whale sharks are one of the great scientific mysteries of our time - they are one of the largest creatures on the planet and yet so little is known about them. Scientists right now are trying to figure out where they give birth, some believe it is at great depths. Joanna worked closely with whale shark and migratory researchers around the globe and wrote a chapter for the United Nations outlining the most current scientific findings about migrating species in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. #whalesharks #oceanscience
