Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Gordon Burghardt to discuss some of the most asked questions about snakes. Dr. Burghardt has been conducting research at the intersection of psychology and herpetology since the 1960s. They start with a discussion on human fear of snakes - more specifically, if we are born with this fear, or if it is learned as we develop. Chris and Gordon also dive into snake cognition touching on topics such as chemoreception and self-recognition.
