Dear Rackham, I am studying anti-predator behaviors and physiology of the Aegean Wall Lizard (Podarcis erhardii) on the Cyclades Island cluster of Greece. My research involves going out into the field to collect herpetofauna specimens and related ecological data. I am accompanied by two other SNRE Master's students Caitlin Weber, and Wan-Chih Cheng.

Best, Kinsey Brock M.S. Student, School of Natural Resources and Environment
