Molly Folkerts Caldwell presented and defended her PhD dissertation research today! Way to go Dr. Caldwell!
Molly spear-headed our Auburn Urban Turtle Ecology projects, mostly focusing on yellow-bellied sliders (Trachemys scripta scripta). Molly defended with two chapters published and another on its way!
We hope Dr. Caldwell can stick around and share her amazing southeastern natural history knowledge with Auburn undergrads as a lecturer in the Biological Sciences Department. And of course, continue to come out turtleing with the Auburn Turtle Crew!
