DESCRIPTION:Learn about sharks and current research with Dr. Alexandra McI
 nturf.\nSharks play a critical role in maintaining vibrant ecosystems in O
 regon and around the world. Yet\, considered �dangerous� by popular me
 dia and threatened by human activity worldwide\, these organisms have face
 d global population declines.  Dr. Alexandra McInturf has been studying sh
 ark species worldwide for the last decade\, including those among the most
  vulnerable. As an animal behaviorist\, she researches some of the most un
 derstudied components of these organisms\, including their social behavior
 . In this presentation\, she will introduce some of the key characteristic
 s of sharks (what makes a shark\, a shark)\, talk about shark diversity\, 
 and finally discuss some of the projects she and other researchers are und
 ertaking on different species (including white sharks) in the Big Fish Lab
  at Oregon State University.\nDr. Alexandra McInturf is a research associa
 te in the Big Fish Lab at Oregon State University. She focuses on studying
  the movement and behavior of large fishes\, primarily sharks. She is curr
 ently working on projects related to Pacific spiny dogfish\, salmon sharks
 \, white sharks\, and basking sharks. Originally from Cincinnati\, Ohio\, 
 she also believes strongly in offering access to knowledge about these mis
 understood organisms\, and as such is an avid science communicator in addi
 tion to her research. To this end\, she is co-coordinator of the Irish Bas
 king Shark Group\, an organization dedicated to the study of\, education a
 bout\, and research on basking sharks in Ireland. \n*cr* *ani* *lw*.\nhttp
