Hi everyone!

Why am I blogging?

I have decided to create this blog for several reasons. Firstly, I would like to share the story of my PhD research on white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) with you, by talking about the work that I am doing with the sharks in addition to all the other trials and tribulations that come with undertaking a PhD.

Secondly, I am an advocate for raising awareness of shark conservation issues and enlightening as many people as I can on the fascinating subject that is sharks. As an avid water user, I want to help people better understand how they can safely and respectfully share our beautiful oceans with sharks of all shapes and sizes.

Thirdly, I love connecting with people who are as passionate as I am about sharks – be it studying them, diving with them or simply appreciating how awesome they are.

Expect a glorious mix of science, pictures, shark facts, PhD chat and general musings.
