-- Quote of the Day --
“When I had to do my PhD I knew I had to pick an organism to study, I liked hanging out on streams so I started thinking about the animals that live on or near streams… Frogs have more personality, and I realized that frogs were rapidly disappearing and no one seemed to know why – so it was the conservation issue that appealed to me. So then I started looking for who around the world was working with frogs. …I wanted to start Save the Frogs because what I noticed about being a scientist is that scientists make recommendations on what should be done, but most often these things were not being implemented. So I decided to take the charge and get these things implemented. …There are a lot of non-science activities that need to be done as well. …Humans have used frogs for a long time. Food is one thing; frogs have meat on their legs, but these days there are 6 billion humans but not enough frogs to feed them. …America is actually the world’s second largest importer, after France. …10% of the noble prizes in medicine come from research that depended on frogs – the first animal we successfully cloned was an amphibian, the first modern pregnancy test came from frogs… When a frog species disappears there goes all the potential uses with them as well. There are lots of research on the chemicals in frog skin from killing HIV to a natural mosquito repellant.”
