This summer I leaned how to pilot an ROV! It was as simple as playing a video game with Xbox controller (in addition to a couple nuances).

My crash course on species ID for sharks in the Gulf of Mexico! Of course there was a lot more nuance in identifying this species, but that all wouldn’t fit within this video!

Did you guess correctly? Hope you enjoy!

I haven’t quite figured out how to express my thoughts and stream of consciousness in short form content on #Bluesky, but I do spend time making shorts and reels about my research which are frequently posted to my #Instagram

During one of my written exams for candidacy this week I was asked, “Tell me everything you know about your study species”. All I could do is smile as I thought to myself, “You asked for it, because I can talk about sharks all day” 🦈

Beautiful adult dusky shark in the video below!

Last month I had my FIRST successful tag and release of a scalloped hammerhead inside the #flowergardenbanksnms. We’ve been trying to find them in the sanctuary for almost 3 years!!

Turn up the volume to hear my yell of excitement 😆 🔊
