Excited to share that I have begun working as a Research Assistant Professor at School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at SBU Stony Brook University I have several new projects with support for MS and PhD students interested in marine animal #telemetry and #ecophysiology. Please reach out if you are interested!

It’s that time of year! Discussing recent #shark sightings with CNN’s ⁦⁦Kim Brunhuber⁩. As #sharkfest ends and #sharkweek begins, remember there is no such thing as shark-infested waters. That’s their home and you can’t infest your own home! cnn.com/videos/us/2023…

¡Gasolinera padre estilo tiburón aquí en Guadalajara! Cool #shark gas station here in Guadalajara! #sharksnearme

This nonprofit is making waves for more diversity in shark science

We found that cookiecutters sharks loved swordfish. They would be covered in bites. Never saw anything like this though! Those bites likely happened while the fish was on the line... Captain Reels In Swordfish Covered In Cookie Cutter Holes msn.com/en-us/video/an…

Just caught and released this shovelnose guitarfish off #SanDiego They are so beautifully weird! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience #sharkweek #flatsharkfriday

Aerial #drone footage of a leopard #shark aggregation off #SanDiego (4x speed). We are using the program TRex (by Tristan Walter and Iain Couzin) to track individual sharks, to study their movement patterns relative to their neighbors.

A few close-ups of the beautiful leopard #shark we just caught and released off #SanDiego, including a parasite (that we removed). ⁦Point Loma Nazarene University⁩ ⁦Scripps Institution of Oceanography⁩ #sharkscience #sharkweek

This rolling behavior is common in #sharks, including leopards. They are rubbing their head, back, and sides on the sand, likely trying to dislodge ectoparasites, like these copepods.

Cute baby leopard #shark alert off #LaJolla #SanDiego! Two-foot-long male. Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience #babyshark for real

Tons of leopard #sharks and bat rays in only knee-deep water this morning off #LaJolla, the day before #HuricaneHilary due to roll into #SanDiego. Will be interesting to check on them again after the storm. Stay safe out there! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience

This was yesterday off #LaJolla, the morning after the remnants of #HuricaneHilary passed through #SanDiego. Clearly, the leopard #sharks were unfazed and the water was surprisingly clear. See the white flashes? Those are sharks rolling over! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharkscience

Not as cool as #sharks, but also saw these #dolphins yesterday near Scripps Institution of Oceanography pier. They were beautiful to watch and it was a gorgeous day! #LaJolla #SanDiego
