Title:
Researching fanged frogs at KU
Description:
Fanged frogs might sound like late-night horror movie material, but they are more of a mystery to University of Kansas researcher David McLeod, a lecturer in ecology and evolutionary biology. Travel with him to Thailand to learn why researchers go far from the laboratory for their research and what they encounter in Southeast Asian rain forests along the way.
