Cheloniacast sits down with Dr. Natalia Gallego-García, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern California Los Angeles, to discuss her work investigating population and conservation genetics of different species of turtle and tortoise. Topics such as what it is like to work in the field with the Magdalena River Turtle, temperature-dependent sex determination variation and how this impacts conservation, common mistakes in conducting experiments and next generation technology for analyzing genetic questions, and Dahl's Toad-Headed Turtle ecology are discussed.
