With the help of PhD student Jennifer Feltner's twin sister Molly, a former media and communications expert, the Mills lab has developed a video "Better than a Snowball's Chance," to explain the science behind color molting species like snowshoe hares and the challenges these species are facing due to climate change. This video highlights much of the great research going on here at the Mills lab, and offers viewers some tips on how they can help.
