It’s been a while since anyone in the Rodriguez Lab has taught a class during the fall semester. Since Halloween was on the menu this semester, many students in Human Dimensions and Conservation Biology participated in a halloween celebration focused on currently endangered and recently extinct species. And the students brought it! Represented are species like the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey (CR), the okapi (EN), the Christmas Island Pipistrelle (EX), the rusty-patched bumble bee (CR), and the Panamanian golden frog (CR). We also had quite a few tigers, sharks, turtles, macaws, and penguins - all endangered (EN), critically endangered (CR) or extinct (EX). In addition to the costume, the students submitted a document about the species they dressed up as, which was very enlightening given that I (Dr. Shari) wasn’t acquainted with at least half of those species. I’m terribly grateful for this wonderfully fun and engaged group of students!

As South Carolina grows, humans and bears are colliding more often Black bear sightings are rising with growth and development in the mountains and coast, but with little danger. Here’s what to do and how to stay safe.
Human Bear Conflicts are on the rise everywhere, but Dr. Shari Rodriguez had a chance to talk to a reporter about the issue in South Carolina specifically:
