I research deep sea sharks. And I’m very involved with education outreach.

All sharks have loosely attached jaws that give them a little extra reach, but Obscure Shark 18, the Goblin Shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) takes this to the extreme…probably because of the ironing board on their face. 🦈🧪

Shark Week 2023 is Coming
Shark Week starts tomorrow but that’s not the only Sharky business I’ve been up to. Here’s a quick video trying to cover it all 🦈💙🦈💙 Shark Week 2023 is Coming

Oh hi friends! Welcome to #MyFirstBlueSky post!

So... are hashtags a thing here? Is #SharkWeek a thing here? Where are the emojis?!

In other news... did you know Frilled Sharks have six gills on each side of their body? Most sharks have five. The end.
