#89 - Charlotte Birkmanis: Oceanic Sharks Storytellers of STEMM
-
- Science
Today's storyteller is Charlotte Birkmanis! She is a marine biologist, who lives in western Australia, and is currently working on her PhD at the University of Western Australia. Today we talk about oceanic sharks, which are also known as pelagic sharks. There's a bunch of oceanic sharks, and Charlotte teaches me all about sharks. Like - did you know that we humans kill 3 sharks every second!? Charlotte and I talk about suitable habitat for sharks, shark movements and migration, basically everything about where and why sharks are where they are and how to study that. I had a great time talking to Charlotte so enjoy this conversation!
