We're seeing right now how much easier it is to destroy rather than to build. But in the face of a voracious appetite for destruction, building is one thing we can and need to do.

Our niche is of course the Arctic, and high northern latitudes in Alaska and North America, and trans-disciplinary, application-focussed work. We're proud of what we do and all the relationships we have with agencies, communities, including Indigenous partners, and the public.

This was the last step needed in a long process. (I'm a NTT researcher right now, but have been involved in this, and both benefit and contribute by mentoring students.)

In a more connected world, pronouns in email signatures do some of the work that recognizably gendered first names robin more homogeneous societies. A Jan from Norway or Germany can be guessed to be male, while an American or British one is likely to be female. And that's an easy case.

This isn't the first time I see patently unethical behavior get positive coverage in The Ethicist. From such a magazine I expect explorations of the sharp end of ethics, of actual complexities. Not obfuscation and wooliness in the service of making problematic acts more palatable.
