S2E5: How I Became a Marine Biologist with Dr. David Shiffman
2Description
For some people, their favorite time of year is Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. I’ve always wondered why some people are so fascinated with a creature they fear as much as sharks. Today, I chat with someone so into sharks he made it his job, Dr. David Shiffman. Dr. Shiffman is a marine biologist who has turned his passion for sharks into a career focusing on their conservation. People are paying attention to his work too, as evident by his more than 50k followers on his Twitter handle @WhySharksMatter. In this episode, I talk with David about how he turned his love for sharks and the ocean into his career as a marine biologist, what conservation research is really like, his thoughts on who he thinks should become a marine biologist, and how he really feels about Shark Week.
