AmphibiCast Folgen

A few decades ago, the idea of using cryopreserved genetic material to bring  back extinct or endangered species laid only in the realm of science fiction.  Although we  are not quite at that point today, science has still brought us much closer. In tonight's episode I am joined by Dr. Michael Mahony of  Australia's University of Newcastle. We discuss his research into cryopreservation as a means to protect fragile amphibian populations and the possibility of resurrecting extinct species of frog. We also discuss some of the unique challenges that Australian Amphibians face and what it was like discovering new species.  In fact, Michael has described 15 new species of frog, and he has the distinction of having a newly discovered named after him in his honor. For more information visithttps://www.newcastle.edu.au/profile/michael-mahonyTo Support the Show visithttps://www.patreon.com/Amphibicast
