Shark biology and ecology course with optional field component

[David Shiffman]

Hello, everyone!

I am teaching a graduate-level biology and ecology of sharks course that's open to anyone anywhere, open-enrollment through the Center for Wildlife Studies. Lectures are asynchronous take-at-your-own-pace online, and you can take them for transfer credit to your institution or just for fun to learn something. 

There's also an optional add-on field expedition. If you take this, you'll live on a research vessel in Florida with me for three days and you'll get to practice catching, measuring, sampling, tagging, and releasing sharks.

I'm happy to answer anyone's questions about the course, which starts this fall and is now open for enrollment. There are only ten spots for the field course.

Dear all,

I would like to let you all know about an undergrad semester abroad programme that I'm coordinating (https://fieldstudies.org/center/croatia/). 

The programme seeks to fill the gap between wildlife ecology and veterinary studies. Combining boat based fieldwork with hands-on veterinary procredures, the programme focusses on the dolphins and sea turtles of the Adriatic. It runs every semester, we will soon be hosting our 5th cohort from September, and is acredited by the University of Minnesota. 

If you would like more details feel free to drop me a line directly.

With best wishes

Pete
