This year's Run T-shirt highlights "hot chicks" and "cool dudes"—nicknames often given to sea turtle hatchlings because warmer nests produce more female hatchlings and cooler nests produce more males. Mote scientists are studying whether climate change will alter the ratio of female to male turtles. Our research supports the conservation of these threatened and endangered species.
