#38 | Earyn McGee | The Lizarding World of Afro Herper
How does a gecko know there’s an earthquake? Van der Waals start shaking!
This week, Jocelyn and Bradley are joined by AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador, herpetologist, and lizard lassoer Earyn McGee, who shares stories of some of her favorite lizards and the tricks they can do—including how Van der Waals forces help geckos climb walls. Earyn explains how radioisotopes in lizard toe clippings (!) are helping her learn more about their diet and the effects of climate change on desert ecosystems. She shares her challenges, struggles, and triumphs as a woman of color in spaces dominated by white men. The friends also discuss Earyn’s efforts to share her knowledge and love of lizards through her wildly popular Twitter game #FindThatLizard, and the wily lizard fugitive who inspired it.
