SciPubADL - Sharks

It's fair to say shark sightings at metropolitan beaches have been making headlines recently. These kinds of reports make some people wary of getting in the water. This event will explore why humans fear sharks, share insights from research projects tracking small sharks and rays in South Australia and we'll even hear about shark microbiomes. Please come and join us for an evening of all things sharks!

We are pleased to announce our panellists are:

- Dr Brianna Le Busque (Program Director: Environmental Science and Geospatial Science, University of South Australia)
- Emma Kerr (PhD Candidate, Flinders University)
- Chloe Roberts (PhD Candidate, Flinders University)
​
Please join us on Friday 30th May at the Adelaide Irish Club (13-15 Carrington St, Adelaide). The event kicks off at 6:00 pm and will finish by approximately 7:30 pm. Doors will open at 5:30 pm. All drinks are to be purchased at the bar but guests are welcome to bring their own snacks/food. Attendance is free, but please register so we can advise the venue and set up the seating. We recommend arriving early to secure your preferred seating.

New to SciPub? Wondering what we are about?
The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. Panellists are selected primarily on their ability to effectively communicate science in an engaging and non-technical manner. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science.
