Frozen Frogs and Climate Change

As part of the activities of the Yale Peabody Museum’s 26th annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I presented a talk about “Frozen Frogs and Climate Change” live from my lab in New Haven, CT.

This work was also featured on an article on the Yale Peabody Museum website
