Education Ambassador for OCEARCH. I integrate research about sharks and local marine ecosystems into STEM curriculum and outreach programs for grades K-12!
It's #STEMSaturday! The @ocearch Global Shark Tracker is a wonderful tool for teaching ecology! Trophic Ecology, community ecology, population ecology... you name it, we can teach it! AP ES, AP Bio, and Marine Science all explore these topics. 😊 Want some help or learn more? Feel free to message me!

🚨 Revised request for scientist friends who want to do something to help 🚨
Help me find scientific professional societies with significant numbers of US members so I can approach them about a sign-on letter.
What societies are you a member of? Send me names, links, etc.
DMs open.

silkies are not open ocean fans, prefer structure.
this is why eastern Pacific and western Pacific populations appear to be separate
SPOT tags used on mature females. they may be traveling to and feeding at seamounts

4 males tagged near Jupiter FL to track movement
genetic analysis suggests we may have three stock of silkies needing management. Divide northern stock?
(gulf and east coast of USA are now managed together, may be better off if gulf is managed separately)

spatial movements needed to make better stock assessments. gathering data on depth and movement
Silkies
Pacific - low confidence in stock assessment
Atlantic - no assessment exists
silkies vulnerable because they share habitat with targeted species (can be tuna by catch)

In which I post a daily shark fact 🦈🧪 on Bluesky every day unless I forget in which case they’ll be more like daily-ish:
There is no red shark, but there is a white shark (some call it a great white) and a blue shark (seen here). Blue sharks are one of the most commonly caught bycatch species. 🇺🇸

Obscure shark(s) 2: Meet the Izaks, five catsharks from the genus Holohalaelurus. There’s original Izak, Grinning Izak, Crying Izak, Honeycomb Izak, and Spotted Izak. The Izaks live in the W. Indian Ocean along coastal Africa and are like *many* sharks: smallish, coolish and not well studied.

Guess I'll introduce myself here. I'm currently a biology Professor at Eastern Kentucky University and curator of freshwater inverts in our museum collection. My research involves the molecular ecology of crayfish, mussels, and snails. I also enjoy 3D printing fish, early tetrapods, and amphibians.

Thank you so much for anyone who's following me on here! I feel like the luckiest educator in the WORLD because I get to be out in the field with an incredible group of scientists, students,captains,and friends and integrate their research and local marine ecosystems into STEM lessons and programs!

New paper out! @whysharksmatter.bsky.social, @drcatmac.bsky.social, and I explored Vancouver Island to find out why the first certified sustainable fishery for a shark species voluntarily withdrew its certification. 🧪 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jfb.15467

Sandbar sharks #BestShark are called brown sharks in the UK, and grey sharks in Spain. Indeed their beautiful coloration ranges all the way from brown to grey! Wow! Amazing!
