  • 150 Years in Hiding: The Story of a New Frog Species in New York City

    Brooklyn Brainery 190 Underhill Ave, Brooklyn, NY, United States

    New York City is probably the last place you'd expect to find a new species of frog, but that's exactly what Jeremy Feinberg and a group of colleagues discovered in 2012.

    This unexpected discovery is the first of its kind for a New York State amphibian since 1854 and has received worldwide attention from scientific and general-interest communities alike.

    In this talk, Jeremy will share his tale of two species – about the new frog and the look-alike species it was previously thought to be.
