The Science of Sharks - Dr. Kesley Banks

In this episode of The Gulf Stream, we took the show on the road to our friends at the Texas State Aquarium, where Dr. Kesley Banks, Assistant Research Scientist in HRI’s Center for Sportfish Science and Conservation, discusses what sparked her interest in sharks and why she made them such a large part of her career. During the episode, Dr. Banks explains why we all should care about sharks, how important they are to the world’s oceans, tells us about her upcoming appearance on Discovery’s Shark Week, and so much more.
