Cuttings (short and sweet):
- Watch how slowly this Greenland shark swims, from a NOAA Okeanos video. These sharks have the slowest swimming speed ever measured in a fish.
- Follow sawfish conservation expert Dr. Tonya Wiley-Lescher @TonyaRWileyL on twitter!
- A Florida State research team, with help from our friends at Field School, became the first people to witness a sawfish birth in the wild. Watch the video!
- While we’re talking about “fake news,” people are questioning how appropriate it is for scientific journals to publish humorous (but not fake) studies. What do you think?
