The Nature Lab, a student research team with the Psychology Department, is conducting a survey of Fairbanks North Star Borough residents to assess mood, behavior and lifestyle in the borough during the winter. The survey takes about 20 min. to complete, and ends Thursday, Feb. 28.

Participants must be at least 18 years old and have lived in the Fairbanks North Star Borough for at least two years. After completing the survey, participants can choose to enter a drawing to win one of three $25 Amazon gift cards. Please follow the link below to get started.

The Nature Lab is co-led by Assistant Professor Jen Peterson and Associate Professor Dani' Sheppard. The project aims to describe the relationship of Alaskans with nature.
