Hi #Tampa!

Looking for something to do this weekend?

Get your JAWS on this! #SHARKCON is happening this weekend and @FIU’s own #SharkFest stars will be there! 🦈

Come meet the real-life scientists behind the shows.

Gooey is a custom designed, non/toxic gelatin decoy that recently had a bite taken out of the tail end by a curious bull shark. This bite is giving us unique insight into the characteristics of shark bites including a detailed look at teeth marks. @fiucase #sharkfest

Clearly, the dean has been working on something new. 🤔 Can’t wait to find out what this is! Tune in to Sharks vs. Dolphins: Bahamas Battleground tonight at 10 pm on @NatGeoTV. #SharkFest @FIU

Enjoying tonight’s @NatGeoTV #Sharkfest! It was fun working w/ Dr. Steve Kajiura on When Sharks Attack 360! Can’t wait to see @GregSkomal and @MegalodonWinton next. And join @FIU @nffarabaugh and me at 10/9C for Sharkcano: Hawaii! 🌋🦈 @FIUCASE

Very excited to share new results from @globalfinprint. An honor to work with so many wonderful people
