28 | Dr. Kimberly Andrews on Studying Snake Movements and Habitat Use

Dr. Andrews lives in Coastal Georgia and runs a University of Georgia research lab focused on the applied ecology of many species including Gopher Tortoises, crocodilians, and snakes.  Kimberly discusses the challenges of developing a career as a venomous snake ecologist especially during a time when there were few women in the field.  Chris and Kimberly discuss the movement ecology of snakes with a focus on the impacts of roads and other forms of fragmentation.  They also go in depth into her study of Canebrake Rattlesnake movements in a coastal South Carolina Eco-friendly Development.
