And a fen full of carnivorous sundews!

Chorus frogs, toads, and garter snakes!

We never got to collect the salamanders we needed but we had so many other great finds!

Yesterday was the first day of field work in a long time! And we found all of the salamanders.

I wrote my first ever code by scratch to fit a model to data! And it works!

Does anyone have any programs they use for automatic video content analysis of sprint speed videos? We are doing it frame by frame in Image J, and it just takes too long. I am hoping for some help from you all! Please Retweet! The salamanders thank you!

Happy #WorldLizardDay from this grumpy Side Blotched lizard!

I had a beautiful dream dogs could talk.... The reality this morning is now very disappointing.

What a difference six days can make! Left is eggs laid today and right is eggs laid six days ago!

For a total of 552 eggs!

Second mom to lay this week!

Do you know that axolotls have clear eggs? You can see the embryo develop inside!
