NPR’s Richard Harris at Prairie Festival
Starting Friday, September 25, 2009, evening, through noon, Sunday, September 27
Richard Harris is a Correspondent at the Science Desk at National Public Radio (NPR).
He is an award-winning traveler to the ends of the earth (he really has been to Timbuktu as well as the South Pole, the Galapagos Islands, Greenland, the Amazon rain forest, and the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro).
His travels have caused those who listen to know more about tuberculosis, the SARS epidemic, endocrine disrupters, the Hubble Space Telescope’s first repair mission, and the ecological impact of alien species coming to North America—to name only a few of the available topics.
He hails from California, and was valedictorian at University of California at Santa Cruz in 1980.
Join us to meet and greet Richard Harris on Saturday, September 26.
