Our frog probiotic project is now a reality!

We received an MBZ Conservation Grant to fund our first trip and pilot study on the anti-Bd skin bacteria of frogs in Madagascar! In fact, we received one of two Board Special Awards from MBZ for our proposal. We traveled to Madagascar in mid-August to begin this study, and Molly returns in January 2014 to sample Malagasy frogs for effective probiotics. We thank everyone for their support and enthusiasm for our project. Check out our Facebook page as we provide updates about our project.
