Selachimorphology (SHARKS) Encore with Chris Lowe

Published: July 13, 2021, 11:39 p.m.

SHAAAARKS. Leading shark researcher Dr. Chris Lowe dishes about bad shark PR, behind-the-scenes Jaws trivia, his thoughts on Sharknado, surfing safety, immune system marvels, cannibal twins, shark personalities, sea sex, and knife teeth in this, an encore-but-refreshed episode with your newly married pod-dad. Alie learns that sharks are not the ocean's a-holes but true evolutionary marvels who suffer from sensationalized reputations and sometimes inside-out butts. Listen up as a science primer during this, the holy Week of the Shark.\n\n(Note: the study of sharks is also called elasmobranchology, a distinction which could also include skates and rays. Both -ologies are difficult to spell.)\n\n\xa0Dr. Chris Lowe's SharkLab at Cal State University Long Beach\n\nTrack sharks and fish and turtles at Scattn.org\n\nDr. Lowe's Twitter and Facebook\n\nMore links at www.alieward.com/ologies/selachimorphology\n\nA donation went to: http://www.misselasmo.org/\n\nSponsors of Ologies: alieward.com/ologies-sponsors\n\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\n\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month: www.Patreon.com/ologies\n\nOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, pins, totes and now\u2026 MASKS.
