"Anything that really lets me feel like I have a tangible impact on my community...is very...meaningful." An interview with Gina Zwicky

Description

Gina Zwicky love lizards. And frogs. And turtles. Basically, all sorts of amphibians and reptiles. The love has turned into a career looking at how lizards fight off parasites and how those parasites evolve to be, well, better parasites. And when she’s not in the field or the lab, she’s wandering through New Orleans teaching folks about frogs (probably not in the French Quarter, though). We talked with her about the challenges of grad school, failed experiments, and what it takes to lasso a lizard (it’s easier than you might think).
