Hello caudata.org members,

I am a fellow caudate hobbyist, as well as a PhD candidate in writing and rhetoric at the University of Rhode Island. I am combining my love of herps and forums with my love of writing in order to study the ways that forum posting helps people learn and develop literacy.

If you are 18 or older, you are invited to participate in a non-profit research study. This research project examines the influence of public forum writings on writers’ learning through interviews and usage diaries. If you join this project, you will only need to participate in three, brief interviews (through e-mail or Skype) at your convenience.

Each interview should take about ten minutes. I will also ask you to keep a brief usage diary: a book or .doc file in which you comment on and reflect on your forum writing. The diary will shape an understanding of how people perceive forum writing.

Your part in this study will be confidential. That means that your answers to all questions are private. No one else will know if you participated in this study and no one else will find out what your answers were.

If you are interested in participating, or if you have further questions, please PM me through this forum.

I have spoken with John Clare about this project, and he welcomes you to contact him if you have questions that he might be able answer.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Lee

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
