Danielle Wallace is a Phd. Candidate at the University of Melbourne, working on understanding how tree frogs have responded to the deadly amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis or Bd for short. Danielle tells us about her first fateful encounter with a frog, and how it propelled her on a lifelong obsession.
