Introducing Shark Science Monday!

I am proud to introduce a new weekly series of posts- Shark Science Monday! Each Monday, I will post an interview with someone from the world of shark science or conservation. Representatives from more than half a dozen countries are featured, covering topics such as conservation economics, feeding behavior, new species discoveries, policy, ecology, and more! Interview subjects include world renowned scientists, conservationists actively fighting to protect sharks, and student researchers just getting started on their careers. Most have generously agreed to answer any questions that you have in the comments of the post featuring their interview, so please ask questions! I presently have enough interviews to last until the start of next summer, and I’m working on getting some more. It’s been a lot of fun putting this series together, and I hope you enjoy it!
