This week on Fairbanks Focus: Alaska View, host Hollie Seiler interviews researcher Grant Matheke about the work he's been doing at Georgeson Botanical Gardens at UAF. After that, our journalist roundtable, featuring Dermot Cole (Daily News-Miner), Tom Hewitt (UAF Sun Star), and Dan Bross (KUAC-FM), discusses Parnell's deferred maintenance plan, Alaska Gasline Coordinator Drue Pearce's resignation, a Norwegian study on oil spill cleanup, and more. As always, we cap off our show with our weekly Stars and Strikes.
