Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Institute of Arctic Biology or IAB of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, is located in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA. The institute was established in 1963 [1] by the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska, with Laurence Irving serving as its founding director.  The  mission of IAB is to advance basic and applied knowledge of high-latitude biological systems through research, education, and service. The Institute supports faculty, post-doctoral, and graduate research in wildlife biology and management, ecology, evolutionary biology, physiology, genetics, biomedicine, bioinformatics, and computational biology. IAB faculty hold joint appointments within other departments at UAF in the College of Natural Science and Mathematics and the School of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences.
Important facilities and research programs that the Institute of Arctic Biology supports are:

The Toolik Field Station, part of the LTER network, is a world-renowned Arctic climate change research station located in the northern foothills of the Brooks Range, Alaska, USA.
The Center for Alaska Native Health Research
The Alaska Basic Neuroscience Program
Center for Molecular and Genetic Studies of Hibernation
The Alaska Geobotany Center
The Resilience and Adaptation Program
The Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research Site
The Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, administered by IAB, began in 1950 and is part of a nationwide cooperative program to promote research and graduate student training in the ecology and management of fish, wildlife, and their habitats.
