Nicolette Cagle has traveled the world in search of snakes, from the Midwest and the southeastern United States to Cuba, Nicaragua, and Australia, and spent decades conducting natural science research on the patterns of snakes in regions where urban development encroaches upon the natural world. Dr. Cagle is also a passionate educator, who loves sharing the wonders of the natural world with students as a faculty member in Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. Dr. Cagle has a background in ecology, natural history, environmental education, and environmental communication; and she has published articles encompassing a diverse array of topics, from snake species habitat relationships to comprehensive pedagogical approaches to significant life experiences in environmental fields. In her free time, Dr. Cagle enjoys hiking in the woods with her husband and child, traveling to historic and cultural sites locally and abroad, and writing ecopoetry.
