Experts Next Door is our lecture series highlighting experts in our community! These are academics, master crafters and other local smartypants.

October’s lecture comes from Olivia Brooks!

Dr. Brooks is a postdoctoral researcher at Virginia Tech studying the toxins found in poison-dart frogs. She'll be talking about how poison-dart frogs get their poisons, how they can resist these poisons, and how parent poison-dart frogs pass on their poisons to their tadpoles.

Fear not! There will be a presentation with lots of pictures :)
