Summary

SHAAAARKS. Leading shark researcher Dr. Chris Lowe dishes about bad shark PR, behind-the-scenes Jaws trivia, his thoughts on Sharknado, surfing safety, immune system marvels, cannibal twins, shark personalities, sea sex, and knife teeth in this, an encore-but-refreshed episode with your newly married pod-dad. Alie learns that sharks are not the ocean's a-holes but true evolutionary marvels who suffer from sensationalized reputations and sometimes inside-out butts. Listen up as a science primer during this, the holy Week of the Shark. (Note: the study of sharks is also called elasmobranchology, a distinction which could also include skates and rays. Both -ologies are difficult to spell.)

The ceremony to something outdoors ordered a bunch of COVID tests ahead of time for extra safety.

So this week, I am going to continue my semi-time off to deliver a fan favorite episode on this,

0:26.3

the annual Shark Week. Love this episode, pass it far and wide.

There's a few extra tidbits. Also, I just might be trying to make a bonus mini-sode this week as well.
