Maybe we should call this our first ever episode of Shared Science, but once we got talkin' crocs with Frank 'Alligator' Robb we just couldn't help ourselves! Join us on a journey through crocodilians of the distant past (fighting dinosaurs), recent past (How Frank caught Chicago's 'Chance the Snapper'), and near future (as the key to unlocking a cure for cancer). You'll also learn a little about Sue the T-Rex, the Lake Michigan Serpent, and a brief lesson on how to catch a dinosaur!
