This website is geared toward students interested in learning about science outside of a laboratory setting. Clicking on the research tab will give you an in-depth look at what I do as a behavioral ecologist, where I do my research, and what kind of planning and decision-making goes into designing a research project.
Follow along with me while I do research this summer by reading my blog , which I'll update every few days to let you know how the toads are doing in the experiments. I'll be posting videos, pictures, and answers to your questions, so make sure to check back often!
The stuff to do section has activities and worksheets that you can use to design your own animal behavior experiment, as well as links to online games that you can play starring frogs!
You can find more information about frogs and toads by clicking on facts & links , where I'll post other awesome websites and information about anurans and what you can do to help protect them in your area.
Finally, you can click contact to learn more about me and how I became inspired to study toads in the rainforests of Central America. You can even write me a message or ask me questions, I'm happy to respond!
Watch a video of a cane toad finding food during pilot studies last summer!
