This year, in collaboration with @panupong__arm of iCU.university and his amazing lab, UTA launched a research expedition to northern Thailand! 🐸🐍🦎 #ardrc #uta #utascience #herpetology #research #stem #biodiversity #science #education #collaboration

The second annual “Night at the Museum” 🏛 was a blast!! Students🧑‍🎓and UTA Herpetology Club members filled the research center to see what biodiversity research is all about 🐍🦎🐸 #ardrc #uta #utascience #herpetology #research #stem #biodiversity #science #education #museum

Check out our latest article with @dallasmorningnews! 🦎🐍🐸 Look for it in print in this Sunday’s paper 🗞✨ Featuring interviews with our curators Greg Pandelis and @matthewfujita! #ardrc #uta #utascience #herpetology #research #stem #biodiversity #science #education

These "fancy" jars with their colorful ribbons are used for the specimens upon which the description of a new species is based! These ones are for✨SIX✨new species of miniature frogs 🐸 from Mexico, described with the help of 🔵UTA🟠 herpetologist 🐍 Dr. Eric Smith.

The ARDRC was just gifted an estimated 4,000 herpetological books! 🐸📚🐍 The Joseph Rex Dinardo Jr. Library now constitutes one of the most comprehensive herpetological research libraries in the country! ✨ #ardrc #uta #utascience #herpetology #education #library #bookdonation

In late July, we introduced incoming freshmen in the AISD STEM Academy at Martin High School to herpetology and the ARDRC. It was a blast and we wish them a fantastic school year! 🤩📚 #ardrc #herpetology #utascience #outreach #science #biodiversity

Some of our graduate students and post docs went to the 3rd Joint Congress on Evolutionary Biology meeting this year in Montreal 🇨🇦 and gave posters and talks! Here are a few photos from the event 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #evolution #herpetology #research #maverickscience #uta

Look at those spots! Bufotes viridis, the European Green Toad found in spring breeding pools in Kythira, Greece 🐸🇬🇷 They are found in habitats from forests to deserts. They are heat tolerant and can even spawn in high levels of salinity! 🌊 #uta #science #herpetology #toad

The Joseph Rex Dinardo Jr. Foundation donated 15,000 books, journals & articles to our sister foundation, INABIO in Ecuador! This took over 2yrs and countless hours of labor. We thank our volunteers and funding from USAID + UTA Bio. Dept! #uta #biodiversity #library #science

It's Massasauga Monday! Look how mesmerizing that pattern is. Have a great week 🐍 📸 John Tharp #herpetology #snakes #biodiversity
