REAL Alaska

Green, who lost her parents young, was raised by her aunt and uncle. While still at school, her aunt died from cancer, and three months later her uncle was diagnosed with cancer, too. Green went on to earn her degree in physics at Alabama A&M University, being crowned Homecoming Queen while she was at it, before going on full scholarship to University of Alabama in Birmingham to earn her Masters and Ph.D. There Green would become the first to work out how to deliver nanoparticles into cancer cells exclusively, so that a laser could be used to remove them, and then successfully carry out her treatment on living animals.

her studies thus far are only on head and neck cancers, but her theory is this treatment platform would work on all types of cancers. But needs $$$$ to keep doing research.

It seems the issue is how to target the cancer cells and in her head and neck cancer tests, she had success in mice by utilizing fda approved immunotherepy antibodies to deliver nano particles to mark the tumor. Then she could proceed to blast the shit out of cancer with fuckin lasers.

she was ready or prepared when opportunity arose

I’m so proud of her. I wish more young black women would go into science.

With him freezing multiple grants, one of which being EPA, is greatly affecting rural villages. EPA brings water to these rural villages that don’t have running water, especially in the winter. But since they are “frozen” they can’t bring water to these villages

Also, I work with trying to revitalize the Native languages here and I’m a teacher assistant for a Yupik class. The funds that we get for these classes, teacher trainings, and salary we have from a grant from ANA. Most likely with how racist Donald is, ANA will be defunded and we will no longer have funding to work on revitalization of our languages. You may say that we can still teach even without government funding, but most of the fluent speakers do not know how to teach their language. This program brought many instructors who taught our teachers and anyone else who wanted to attend about different ways to teach and why they work. Also, not all fluent speakers have the money to take time out of their lives to teach, this program basically gave them an income to be able to teach their language.

Another thing, at my school one of the Native corporations(CITC) is in part of our school and has higher math classes exclusively to Native Americans which leads to smaller classes where we get to focus on math amd get the help we need. Also, with the higher math that normally would just be AP, taking the AP test, and hoping to get a score good enough for some college credits, instead we take those classes through UAF(university of alaska fairbanks) amd get actual college credit from passing the class. Of course this is through a grant, which could soon result in my teacher losing his job because of Donald.

Tldr(or whatever the acronym is): shit is happening to Alaskan Natives here because of Donald and people are not getting water in rural Alaska and also some are close to losing their jobs.
