Dr. Ted Murphy spent more than 30 years studying, monitoring and working to protect the region’s endangered kit fox population and on February 10 at 4 p.m. in the Dezember Reading Room, he will be discussing his experiences.  Most of us who have been on campus late in the evening have glimpsed its resident foxes, which are normally nocturnal creatures.

The talk, which is being organized by librarian Curt Asher, is part of the Stiern Library Faculty Research Lecture Series.  The series allows professors to share their research with the wider campus community.  Dr. Murphy is an emeritus professor of biology and the founder of CSUB’s Facility for Animal Care and Treatment (FACT).  Refreshments will be served after Dr. Murphy’s talk.  For more information, contact Curt at 654-3251.
