Trudi has written over 100 books and many of them reflect her background and strong interest in science.

Find out how to crack the code at this exciting program. Perfect for kids 8 years and up.
Trudi Trueit is bringing a special guest: Zoltan Takacs, Nat Geo explorer, snake wrangler, herpetologist and toxinologist!
Zoltan Takacs has been chasing venomous snakes in the world's most remote locations since he was a teenager. He's traveled to 133 countries and survived seven snakebites. But Takacs doesn't go after these deadly creatures just for the thrill; he collects venom and brings it back to a lab, where he and his colleagues analyze it with the goal of treating diseases.
