Episode 183: University of Arizona environmental scientist Matt Goode

University of Arizona environmental scientist Matt Goode is studying snakes and other reptiles in the Stone Canyon foothills north of Tucson. Biologists agree that development is one of the main threats to wildlife in the state, but Goode says the number of snakes in the Stone Canyon area has remained steady despite the encroachment of businesses and residential neighborhoods in the area.

Matt Goode spoke with Tim Swindle of the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Lab.
