Recent MS graduate. Studied bull sharks and algal toxins in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon.

Multi-year immature #bullshark movement was studied in the Indian River Lagoon, FL. The IRL and adjacent coastal waters serve as essential habitat, and regional activity shifts seasonally. Paper below! 🦈 #SharkWeek #acoustictelemetry @shellysharks

It’s Shark Science Saturday! 🔬🧪🦈

Did you know we can trace toxins derived from algal blooms all the way into bull sharks? ☣️🦈

A couple of weeks ago we had an icebreaker during my graduate seminar and the question was "What is your irrational fear?" My answer was "hammerhead sharks". And today in class I walked in and saw this:
