Screwworm Eradication & Hurricane Preparation with Dr. Monty Dozier, Heberto Villarreal & Dr. Robert Gauthreaux

The new world screwworm is a nasty pest that's back in Texas for the first time in decades. Monitoring and communication are key - but so is old-school technology to eradicate the parasite without pesticides. Also, the Institute for Homeland Security is headed to Brownsville this week to help strategize hurricane preparations and response. We're bringing along an interactive "Simtable" and our resident meteorologist as well. We're joined by Dr. Monty Dozier, the program director for disaster assessment and recovery at the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service; Heberto Villarreal, the project manager for the transportation systems sector at the Institute for Homeland Security; and, Dr. Robert Gauthreaux, assistant professor of practice in the Department of Media & Communication.
