I am horrified by @FedEx's commercial portraying a driver who killed a rattlesnake while delivering a package as a hero. I have written a letter to FedEx marketing officials and hope that you will do so as well, and will share this post to get more people involved. 1/4

It was an absolute honor to host Dr. Tyrone Hayes this week as our grad student-chosen super speaker! I’m still a bit starstruck - but he is genuinely one of the kindest, funniest, most down to earth people I’ve ever met 😊 “just a boy who loves frogs” 🐸

I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this award than Tom. He has been an incredible advisor, mentor, educator, and friend… and I truly wouldn’t be the scientist I am today without him. Congrats Tom!! 🥹👏🏼 @Sirenlacertina wichita.edu/about/wsunews/…

ISO photos of herps well camouflaged in the field! I’m teaching a summer camp for rising 4-8th graders and I’d like to do a “find the herp” activity 🐸 if you have any and are willing to share, please send them my way! Credit will be given for all photos. TIA!!

Grateful for @EmergeSfs and the opportunity to present my master’s research to the SFS community! Presenting in the very first time slot of the conference is a bit stressful, but I’m looking forward to relaxing and enjoying the rest of the talks this week 😊 #2024SFS

In the rugged and rocky terrains of the Zagros mountains in Iran, a remarkable predator roams, known as the spider-tailed horned viper Look at its tail, the tip resembles the shape of a spider, but not only that it moves just like a spider, and used as a hunting tool to lure insectivorous birds 📹 Michael Vescio, IG viperbreeder
