UNLESS...someone like you cares a whole awful lot... This #EarthDay read along with "The Lorax," by Dr. Suess. This classic (and sometimes banned book) about habitat protection is near and dear to our hearts. @ATXLibrarian @AustinISDLibs https://t.co/CF503o4k4E

How are biologists still finding new mammal species? In this case, it's genetics. Yes, a good understanding of genetics is critical for understanding plant and animal populations, and even differentiating between species! https://t.co/M3amDeH4dx
