PBS has launched a new web portal of their video presentations.  This slick new site makes finding videos on topics a whole lot easier.  I did a search on “turtles” and found this video on invasive species, “Silent Invasion“, which I found to be very interesting.  Topic searches will lead you to the “chapter” or “segment” within the video where the topic is treated.  Wonderful fine tuning of searching within a video.  If you are hunting for videos to support course work, seek out this resource.  It is pretty fantastic.

Our turtle people making the news again!

This time it is our own graduate students, Steven Pearson and Julia Stone, from Drexel’s Bioscience department.
