Devin & Lindsey on her 1st ski trip!Carl & I have been so interested in Devin's research at NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety & Health....did I get that right, Devin?) the past few years. His research involves finding out how many commercial fishermen use personal floatation devices (PDFs) and asking them to try out different types of them to see which ones they would be most likely to wear. We think that this is a worthwhile project that will save lives eventually and we are so proud of Devin for developing the survey and doing the followup research. It also has taken him to some interesting places--Washington and California along the Pacific coastline, Maine and along the eastern coastline, Dutch Harbor, Homer, and Seward in Alaska, and in May to Iceland for a conference. We were excited to see his name in a couple of newspaper articles in preparation for his current trip to Homer & Seward and thought we would share it for those who are interested in learning more about his project (just click on "newspaper articles" and it should take you to one of them). Way to go, Devin!

I am excited to see the results of this PFD study. It is neat to see all the work that goes into finding out statistics. I know Devin is having fun doing the survey's and getting to know the fisherman as he gives them the PFDs.
He is amazing isnt he!! It is really neat all the things has been able to accomplish!
