Plants Evolve For Colder Temperatures: Evolution On Access Utah

Dan McGlinn, AU, Sheri Quinn
USU

Utah State University ecologist Daniel McGlinn was  part of a research team that created the largest evolutionary "time-tree" of plants.  This tree is helping scientists understand how plants evolved to tolerate frigid winter temperatures. Today on the program Sheri Quinn talks to McGlinn about the project and his field of study macro-ecology.
 

At 9:30 Oklahoma based filmmaker Sterlin Harjo joins SQ Radio to discuss his latest documentary film premiering at the Sundance Film Festival next week titled, "This May Be The Last Time." The film focuses on the stories of the Native American songs his ancestors sang.

Sheri's career in radio began at 7 years old in Los Angeles, California with a secret little radio tucked under her bed that she'd fall asleep with, while listening to The Dr. Demento Radio Show. She went on to produce the first science radio show in Utah in 1999 and has been reporting local, national and international stories ever since. After a stint as news director at KZYX on northern California's Lost Coast, she landed back at UPR in 2021.
