Bat expert works in tire shop in Las Vegas
Dr. Michael O Farrell, a leading bat expert, works at the OK Tire Shop in Las Vegas while earning $3 an hour as a tire repairman. He hosts a bat symposium attended by 150 researchers and explores using bat odor to attract roosting sites in farming belts to cut pesticide use. Bats eat many insects nightly and may aid future disease and space travel research.
