EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW IN LIFE I LEARNED FROM A SHARK

Sharks are some of the most fascinating and misunderstood animals on
the planet. Come learn from SFU marine conservation biologist Dr. David

I dug up a bit more about Shiffman; he has his own website, a Twitter feed, and a number of blog postings at southernfriedscience.com.
