  • Oh hey, it's a 13-year-old poodle and a baby bjorn.

  • Allie Ward, congratulations.

  • You're here.

  • Let's bust some flim flam with the world's biggest fan and advocate for rattlesnakes.

  • They grew up moving around the country in a Navy family and they've seen so many types of ecology,

  • but they got their PhD from Arizona State University.

  • They're now a professor in the biological sciences at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo.

  • the director of the Physical Ecology of Reptiles Lab.

  • They run the Central Coast Snake Services,

  • which helps relocate rattlesnakes so people don't kill them.

  • Also,

  • an author of so many papers on rattlesnakes and the books California Snakes and How to Find Them and California Lizards and How to Find Them.

  • They're a co-founder of this year's inaugural Snake Week from July 13th through 19th.

  • And you can find out more at snakeweek.org.

  • They have a bunch of events and webinars.

  • They also head up Project Rattlecam,

  • which brings you live feeds of rattlesnakes in their natural habitat.

  • It's a joy.

  • I suggest you go check out Project Rattlecam.

  • I had them on a list of mine for years and I finally met up with them in a hotel
