It\u2019s not surprising that the Toronto Zoo is partnering with Laurentian University to help research how to increase the success rate for the Oregon Spotted Frog breeding program at the Toronto Zoo.&amp;nbsp; Briar Hunter is a Master\u2019s student at Laurentian University who is involved in the research of the breeding program and joins me on today\u2019s episode to discuss her research purpose, collaborators out west, and what she hopes to accomplish after her research. Briar\u2019s supervisors for her Master\u2019s thesis are Dr. David Lesbarreres (Laurentian University) and Dr. Gabriela Mastromonaco (Toronto Zoo).
