While visiting Portland I met a former colleague of Dr. Tyrone Hayes. Dr. Hayes, a Biology Professor at UC Berkeley, has spent a great deal of his time researching amphibians, but that is just the start. His labs have examined the harmful effects of the herbicide Atrazine. I had never actually heard of Atrazine until I saw this video in which Dr. Hayes raises awareness through the medium of rap. I hope to get him in one of our episodes soon.
