Dr. Jenkins sits down with Parker Gibbons to learn about how his interests and adventures in field herping have transitioned into pursuing a career in Herpetology.  A recurring theme in his life is how influential his grandfather has been in getting him to where he is today.  Parker’s grandfather, <a href="https://www.ecology.uga.edu/directory/j-whitfield-gibbons/">Dr. Whit Gibbons</a>, is one of the most accomplished herpetologists of recent times.  This story inspired Dr. Jenkins to interview Whit as well, to show you the story of a family legacy from both sides. Connect with Parker on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ParkerTeachesScience">Facebook</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/parker_gibbons_herpetology/">Instagram</a>.Connect with Chris on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OrianneSociety/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oriannesociety/">Instagram</a> or at <a href="https://www.oriannesociety.org/">The Orianne Society</a>.<a href="https://www.oriannesociety.org/shop/">Shop</a> Snake Talk merch.
