Davis employs a wildlife biologist named John McNerney to oversee all things natural in the City. John has been on the show several times (all archived for your listening pleasure!). This time our discussion focussed on the turkeys and other 'wild' animals in the City and what people should or should NOT do in their interactions. Although I hope you will listen to this entire episode; here's the main point Lois got from it -- DO NOT leave out food where the rats, turkeys, squirrels, skunks, opposums, or other animals can get to it. That includes remnants of cat and dog food, as well as intentionally feeding them. Wild animals that become 'habituated' to people can cause problems. Ah, you might say, but what about the little birds? |

Tim Akin spent 26 years at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, which gave him a large window on the business world. He retired as the school’s executive director of marking and communications in June, and today on Davisville we talk about what he has seen and learned over the years. The topics include whether he thinks business is ready to manage AI, what the school brings to the different worlds of business and academia, and the value of business education that includes other areas of study, and doesn’t just focus on itself.
The photo shows Tim, with a few items he once kept on his desk at UC Davis, in KDRT’s studio on July 25.

This time around on The Electric Compost Heap, we'll drink in a fair share of new music, including very recent releases from the Klittens, Ty Segall, and a collaboration effort from Mexican Institute of Sound & the Meridian Brothers(!!!). Save that bottle for the deposit money and toast with us on 95.7fm + KDRT.org!
