#DidYouKnow you can report a #BaskingShark sighting? These reports are a great way for researchers to get information on Basking Sharks. Some examples of places you can report a sighting include @SharkTrustUK in the UK, @big_fish_lab in Oregon, and @BaskingIrish in Ireland
This latest PROGRESS story tells how science informed education and outreach efforts helped the decision to name the #BaskingShark as the first fish species to be protected by the nation of #Ireland. #Sharks@BaskingIrish@big_fish_lab

How much time do you work in R?
Great question! Last Friday was an R heavy day but that’s because I’m doing primarily analysis right now (less fieldwork/writing). Some weeks I spend no time in R, but other weeks it’s 20 or so hours. It just depends on where I am in my projects!
