Dr. Rulon Clark of San Diego State University is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology and his research interests include behavioral ecology and more. What attracted me to his work specifically was the research he’d published regarding rattlesnakes and their social lives as well as their ability to choose sites which would most benefit them when it came to ambush sites. I had the opportunity to interview about his work and current projects and to say that they are fascinating would be an understatement so grab your lab coats folks and settle in. You are about to learn some incredible aspects regarding rattlesnake life!
