Gecko enthusiast Greg Pauly joins Jason this week to talk about all things reptilian (and amphibian). They chat about his work as herpetology curator at LA's Natural History Museum, the critical role of citizen science in helping researchers understand urban biodiversity and how the Interstate Highway System suddenly allowed for the spread of invasive species like never before.
