IHS

At the end of last month, two RU Biology students and I presented a talk at the International Herpetological Symposium in Baltimore, MD.  It was exciting to get to meet some incredible people who genuinely care about reptiles and amphibians, and to visit with several herper friends whom I only see once or twice a year.  There was a banquet and auction the last night (the picture was taken at the auction by Mike Jodrey), and the auctioneer was Ton Jones of "Auction Hunters" on Spike TV!  He rescues reptiles in his free time and, like everyone there, sincerely cares about their conservation.  And, also like the others at the symposium, he's a really cool guy!
