PI Tanner traveled to London, Ontario, Canada to present results from collaborative research with the Mark Bee (University of Minnesota) and Kim Hoke (Colorado State University) labs at the Animal Behavior Society's annual conference. The Society conducts an annual Outreach Fair as part of the conference, in which scientists present their work to local families. This year's Tanner Lab activity introduced more than 100 people -- mostly families with children under 10 -- to acoustic communication in frogs. We collaborated with Katie Krueger (left) to deliver the activity.
