Dawson resident and Air Force veteran Justin Wolfe recently received bronze at the 10th annual Invictus Games in Vancouver, Canada. Adaptive sports have helped Wolfe push past limitations from his diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Troy Peterson, a fellow veteran and Winterset resident, helped Justin turn to sports through his non-profit ValorFit.
Later in the hour, new research from ecologists Steven Dinsmore and Victoria Fasbender at Iowa State University demonstrates that humans can tweak their behavior in relatively small ways that could make a positive impact for the pectoral sandpiper, a migratory shore bird that often stops in Iowa on the way from breeding grounds in the Arctic to where they winter in South America.
Guests:
- Justin Wolfe, retired Air Force Sergeant
- Troy Peterson, retired Army sergeant, founder, ValorFit
- Steven Dinsmore, professor and chair of natural resource ecology and management, Iowa State University
- Victoria Fasbender, graduate student in wildlife ecology, Iowa State University
