Aylett Lipford @kataylett is running for student councilor. She's an MS student @LSU studying marshbird use of created wetlands. Aylett served as an officer for TWS. She would work hard to represent students & early career scientists, and bring new ideas and enthusiasm to council

Madagascarophis colubrinus is a mildly venomous, rear-fanged snake endemic to Madagascar. Despite their scary look, they are very docile little guys! #madagascarmonday #hokiesforlemurs @brandonsemel

People often think that conservationists care more about #animals than people. But the reality is, #conservation is meaningless without people! #Madagascar #WednesdayWisdom #HokiesforLemurs @kataylett @vt_cnre @WWF

Waiting for a #lemur to #poop can be dangerous business! But we'll use fecal #DNA to determine how well they can move b/n forest fragments

Pretty much no animals in #Madagascar will kill you, but hisses from dozens of #cockroaches hiding under a rock could induce a heart attack!
