    Episode 216. Tracking the Data - 20 years of Amphibian Trade with Sam Sucre and Devin Edmonds

    In order to become better stewards of the natural world, it's vital that we understand how important data from the amphibian hobby can be. As amphibian keepers, we can play an important role in conservation and resource management. By interpreting and understanding trade patterns, we can engage stakeholders and policy makers and make decisions based in science and facts.

    Episode 213. Frogs in the Medieval World with Greti Dinkova-Bruun

    We've all heard the tales of witches using "eye of newt" in their potions, but did you know that amphibians (frogs in particular) were actually a common ingredient in medieval curatives? Medieval medicine was in fact rife with recipes that used frogs (in part or whole) as cures, charms, and treatments for a long list of ailments.  And, in addition to their medical usage, frogs were also used as characters in medieval fables that depicted them as everything from heroes to villains To help us understand frogs in the medieval world,  week I am honored to be joined by medievalist and librarian, Greti Dinkova-Bruun. In this episode, we discuss her recent article, The Medieval Frog in Medical Recipes and Fable Narratives. We talk about historical context, and many of the specifics behind the usage of frogs in both medicine and literature Greti Dinkova-Bruun's article The Medieval Frog in Medical Recipes and Fable Narratives, is published in the latest issue of Mediaeval Studies,  To read the article, visit: https://www.academia.edu/130177325/_The_Medieval_Frog_in_Medical_Recipes_and_Fable_Narratives_Mediaeval_Studies_85_2023_139_162 https://pims.ca/news-item/medieval-frog/ Broaden your knowledge of herpetology online or in person at the Amphibian Foundation.
