Notes from the Field: Matt Francis
Matt Francis is the director of Prescott Observatory and Dark Star Quantum Cosmology Research in Prescott, Arizona, and is a fierce advocate for wildlife.

He and a committed group of local citizens, including Project Coyote Program Associate Linda Bolon, have significantly raised public awareness about killing contests in the state–including the gruesome Santa Slay Coyote Tournament.
