Howling Husky Homestead

Scientist, author, professor, and dog musher, Dr. Linda Chamberlain has combined her public health career with her passion for dog mushing and rural living. An epidemiologist specializing in childhood exposure to violence and brain development, she is known for her ability to translate science into practical information with diverse audiences. Dr. Chamberlain is also a motivational speaker and uses “lessons from the trail” that she has learned as a dog musher to convey key strategies for leadership development and teamwork.

Dr. Chamberlain lives with her 20 Huskies and her husband, Al, on a 45-acre homestead outside of Homer, Alaska. During the summer months, she leads narrated tours of a circa 1910 wall tent, the sled dog kennel, and a living museum of dog mushing on their homestead. Dr. Chamberlain has published a book called "Arctic Inspirations: Rural Women Creating Personal Success and Starting Small Businesses" based on her research on rural entrepreneurs during a Kellogg Leadership Fellowship and her work with women in Alaska, northwestern Canada, and eastern Siberia. She is currently working on a book called “Mushing the Mail on the Iditarod Trail” that traces the history of mail delivery by dog team in Alaska.
