"Unleashing the Scientist in the Student"
The students were gathered around
a red-backed salamander deep in the woods
on Staten Island. A shiny black squiggle,
 it was jumping around in the cupped hands of their teacher,
Aimee Kemp, who was determined to show them
 how she could tell it was a male.
New York City used to be salamander central,
but while the red-backed salamander still thrives under rocks and logs,
other species have disappeared.
