"Biggest And Baddest" Wildlife On Friday's Access Utah

Andy Dittrich/Wild Planet Productions

Biologist Niall McCann has made capturing the world's most dangerous creatures his part-time career, the rest of time he is at school working on his PhD focused on the much less threatening animal, the tapir.

Today in the program, host Sheri Quinn talks to McCann about his adventures and conservation work.Then Science Questions explores black holes with physicist Kip Thorne, a Logan native.

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.
