Title: Communications Director
About: Arya oversees the Committee's communications program, which includes the Mono Lake Newsletter. She loves her job because she gets to share the inspiring work of the Mono Lake Committee with members and visitors alike. When she's not in the office you might find her running with her dogs Dublin and Poco, volunteering with the Lee Vining Fire Department, listening to any music with a banjo in it, or willing the plants in her garden to grow. Her favorite things to do in the Mono Basin include ice skating on nearby lakes, skiing the Mono Craters, and getting to smell the sagebrush when it rains.See All Posts by Arya (91)

If you went on a Friday morning bird walk last summer, you most-likely met Birding Intern Nick Neely. Among Neely’s many accolades, being a writer for High Country News’ “Writers on the Range” series, is one. His recent article, “Alien life, it turns out, is much closer than Mars” deftly weaves the story of the discovery of GFAJ-1 with its home turf at Mono Lake. I highly recommend giving his article a read.

Just FYI, the February 7th issue of High Country News as a photo of an incoming gull credited to Nick, as the Heard Around the West photo. The background looks suspiciously like Mono Lake.
