Summary

It’s that time of year again… #SharkWeek starts July 26 on Discovery and HBO Max. To celebrate, Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by renowned shark behavior expert and Shark Week star, Dr. Tristan Guttridge. The two talk all things sharks; from their social dynamics to their genetics to their migration patterns and beyond.     Before that, Sam looks at a study that explores how ocean acidification corrodes shark teeth. Later, new research is causing conversation about whether or not we’re classifying sharks the right way and reveals how some of their key traits evolved over millions of years.     Link to Show Notes HERE     Follow Curiosity Weekly on your favorite podcast app to get smarter with Dr. Samantha Yammine — for free!
