Dr. Kim B. Wright leverages three decades of experience in
neurosurgery to perform minimally invasive and complex surgeries through
his clinic, Laser Precision Spine Surgery, which is based in Anchorage,
Alaska. On top of his professional responsibilities, Kim B. Wright, MD,
contributes to a number of local nonprofits and organizations,
including the Anchorage Museum.
Among its many programs, the
Anchorage Museum maintains the Polar Lab, which uses exhibitions, active
investigation, and other programs to examine life in the North and
inspire connection. The Anchorage Museum recently hosted an event called
“Curated Conversation: Edges at the Anchorage Museum” as part of the
Polar Lab program series. During the event, panelists explored the
various “edges” of the impact of Northern explorers, such as Captain
Cook, who seized and changed sites that had long been used by indigenous
people. The panel featured prominent members of the community like
Princess Lucaj Johnson, Edgar Heap of Birds, and Aaron Leggett.
The
Polar Lab’s curated conversations series will continue throughout the
next two years while the United States retains the chairmanship of the
Arctic Council. To see a recording of the recent event, please visit
