#SciFri: Searching for salamanders in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
If you wanted to create somewhere for herpetologists to flock in their hundreds, I could think of no better place than the Appalachian Mountains. The Great Smoky Mountains are a mountain range rising along the Tennessee–North Carolina border in the…
#SteveReviews: Crocs of Katuma
It isn’t often that you find a documentary film about reptiles, so I was excited when I stumbled across Crocs of Katuma, when scrolling through Amazon Prime. This documentary was released in 2010, and provides an immersive exploration into the…
#SciFri: Zoo Knoxville
Today marks a year since the beginning of the first Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease (GARD) conference, held in Knoxville, Tennessee. I travelled to Knoxville alone (as I usually do for international conferences), visiting the United States for the first…

#SciFri: RSPB Strumpshaw Fen
I was lucky enough, while in Norfolk recently, to visit RSPB Strumpshaw Fen with my friend Liam, who you may know as A Shot of Wildlife on YouTube, and his colleague Natalia. It is the first time I have been…
