Community Science with Parker James Lloyd

Send us Fan MailThere's no better way to end the year of the snake than to listen to this episode about ssssnakes with Chris Frauenhofer, wildlife biologist with the Utah Army National Guard at Camp Williams. Join us as we slither around snake concepts, bust some snake myths, learn about Chris's history & experiences in the field, and find answers to so many of our questions about sneks. 

Send us Fan MailSierra Hastings, Sageland Collaborative's communication specialist, shares how there is a place in the sciences for people of all backgrounds. She walks us through her first time building a beaver dam analog, her love of toads (fyi...we love them, too!), and the five active projects at Sageland Collaborative. We love to see the arts and sciences woven together, and Sierra's talents as a photographer and great communicator make science more accessible to all.
