Elon students helped people learn a bit more about native amphibians and reptiles at Mebane’s Spooktacular.

Chunco, associate professor of environmental studies, was part of a consortium of scientists who studied the question of whether some of the problems with reproducibility might result from decisions scientists make when analyzing data.

Three Elon students attended as volunteers with the NC Herpetological Society. Dozens of children and their families stopped by to play "Find the Copperhead," touch a live snake and learn why it's important to protect snakes, amphibians and other "scary" species.
