Live sharks + Radiolab + Transom — how great is this?
UPDATE: We’ll have LIVE SHARKS at the Clapp Auditorium at MBL right before the show with Pat Walters of Radiolab. A huge thank you to the folks at MBL for making this happen. This is what happens when our office is based in a town of science, surrounded by the ocean. Pretty incredible. Get tix:
