Two students from East Stroudsburg University’s Biology Graduate Program are proving that science and social media can be a powerful pair. Using skills honed under Thomas C. LaDuke, Ph.D., associate professor of biology, Tianna Johnson and Audrey Sauter use their digital platforms and first-hand experiences in nature to encourage audiences to appreciate and protect wildlife. Dr. LaDuke, who started teaching at the University in 1991, credited the rise of social media, coupled with a general shift in how people regard snakes, reptiles, and amphibians, for making it easier than ever for mass audiences to learn about animals and their livelihoods. “It’s having a big effect on how these animals are viewed and, in many cases, has a big effect on their success in nature,” LaDuke said. “People can see that these animals are an important part of the environment and that we need to help them survive.”

She says they’re seeing a higher drop in donations than previous years due to snowstorms and catastrophic events taking place. “We know now, after that, we have over 20,000 people who were donors and didn’t donate this year.”
