New State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dog Aging Study, Sun City Photo Book

More from this show

On this episode of “Arizona Horizon,” Dr. Terry Leyba Ruiz joined “Arizona Horizon” to talk about her future role as State Superintendent of Public Instruction. She said she vowed to rein in the state’s Empowerment Scholarship Account program, the state’s school voucher program and end automatic approval of expenditures of $2,000 or less.

We also sit down with Noah Snyder-Mackler, a professor at ASU’s School of Life Sciences, to discuss a new study done on aging dogs. Researchers at ASU have been working to understand the underlying causes of “dog years” that can shorten the time between pets and humans.

Finally, Kendrick Brinson shared her work in the community of Sun City and her new book “Sun City: A Love Letter to the Golden Years.” The new book captured the retirement community in Sun City and how life can look after 55.
