If you’ve never been to Southern Fried Science before and want to get an idea of who this Shiffman bloke is and what he’s about (hint: it has something to do with sharks), check out his two bench-mark posts:
- Shark Conservation: The problem, the goal, and how to get there
- Dolphin-safe tuna: conservation success story or ecological disaster?
If you’re looking for controversy and a critical approach to the practice of field work, check out this great white ruckus:
- Check out “Expedition Great White” on the National Geographic Channel!
- Expedition Great White: A response from Dr. Michael Domeier
- Severely injured great white shark found, are scientists responsible?
- Full video of injured shark shows numerous natural injuries
If sharks aren’t your cup o’ chum, check out some of his posts on broader issues in marine science:
- Turtle excluder devices: analysis of resistance to a successful conservation policy
- 10 misrepresentations about climate change
- Louis Agassiz and a brief history of early United States marine biology
