"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

I’ve talked many times about my experience teaching AP science courses before, and I even did an entire series talking to teachers who teach various AP science disciplines, so y’all know how challenging it can be. However, think about if you’re still a beginning teacher and being thrown into teaching an AP course. That’s what happened to my guest on today’s episode, Laura Tice. Laura is sharing her reflections as a first-year AP teacher, including how her students did on the exam, her highs and lows from the year, and how she’s already revamping her curriculum for the upcoming school year.
Teaching any AP course is no joke, but as Laura describes, it’s absolutely worth it. She loved working with AP level students and talked about how their work ethic and drive gave her the confidence to teach the course, but also with some humility throughout the year. While Laura discloses the things that didn’t go her way, she’s taking those challenges and making a point to make the necessary changes to fix them to help her students be successful in those areas. Laura even had two weeks left to review before the exam, in which she shared her one piece of advice for making that possible.
After my conversation with Laura, I was so impressed by her wisdom, enthusiasm, and humility as a first-year AP teacher. She encountered a few challenges and struggles throughout the year, which is to be expected, but she is using her reflections as room for improvement for the upcoming school year. Laura shares a lot of strategies and advice as a first-year AP teacher that I know you all will want to take and implement in your own classrooms this school year.
