For the first episode of this brand new edition, The Snakeman's Lair welcomes a truly exceptional guest in Prof. Emily Taylor, a world-leading expert in the behavioral ecology of reptiles. Join me and Emily as she recounts her love at first sight with herpetology as a college student, the universe of knowledge that we are just beginning to explore in the field of snake behavior, and the progress towards social justice in the natural sciences.
