"A shark is a clear and imaginable agent of harm. It has teeth, movement, intentional behavior and the capacity to cause immediate bodily harm. In contrast, rip currents and dehydration are more diffuse, gradual and harder to visualize as 'attackers.'"

Did you know that July 14 is Shark Awareness Day? 🦈

According to David March — an associate professor in @PsychologyFSU who studies threat perception — people naturally process dramatic events such as shark attacks differently than more common but less visible dangers, shaping how they think about risk before ever stepping onto the beach.

March is available for interviews on how automatic and deliberate thinking shape perception, decision making and behavior. For more information, visit: https://t.co/rqPOFw8Huj.
