A lovely little morning snack off the coast of Taiwan in 2018. It was just what we needed but I will admit I did not really enjoy eating the fish heads.

Hey everything, I don't know what you are all doing later today (6pm EST) but I am a panelist for the Smithsonian's session on Film and Photography. Swing by if you want to talk about nature documentaries and stuff and things. naturalhistory.si.edu/events/art-sci…

Happy #sharkweek everyone! Sorry I have been inactive on soc med. But what better reason to sit out shark week than to be too busy doing shark sci? I’m currently setup gear for a project. What did you all think of shark week this year? Highs? Lows? Did anyone watch #sharkfest ?

Hopping on a boat to study sharks in the Atlantic and Gulf for the next month or so. I am super excited to get to see all those animals and get to do some genetic work! @ NOAA Ship Oregon II instagram.com/p/ChKvE5Vr3qr/…

Any hammerhead fans out there? We just tagged (conventional tag) and released this pretty girl and she swam off strong 🤩 you have to love fieldwork. instagram.com/p/ChVOltYuZjf/…

I never get tired of working with these little beauties. Plus we get more data, samples, and another conventional tag out there. Shark life 4 life!

We got a few hammerheads last night. All 3 tagged and released. It made for an exciting end to our shift. instagram.com/p/ChhviHUO3Rn/…

Happy to see this big Sandbar Shark swim away strong last night. I love deep-sea sharks but coastal sharks are pretty cool too. instagram.com/p/CiJY0AFsc-8/…

Holy smokes! I can’t believe it has already been 6 years since the pilot for my travel series aired. Even though we didn’t get picked up for a full season (maybe a little sharky for Travel), I absolutely loved the experience.

Hey everyone! My friend Gene just published another book!

Gene’s a well-informed scientific writer, but he doesn’t let that get in his way while writing this ridiculous shark attack story—"Fins: A Novel of Relentless Satire." 


Gene is donating the profits to research.

🌊🦈 Big news! I am SO excited to be presenting at the UN/FAO event, “Fishing for deep sea shark data.” I will fly to FAO headquarters in Rome to join an international team of shark experts and the workshop will be streamed online: fao.org/in-action/comm… @fao @commonoceans
