Please join us for the second in a series of five lectures - Rookery Bay & the Next Generation of Scientists – Shark Research Beyond Our Boundaries. Patrick O’Donnell, Shark Research Environmental Specialist at Rookery Bay and Kristine Zikmanis, Florida International University Student will co-present about how the 20 years of shark research extends way past Rookery Bay and where the results may take future scientific studies. Lunch will be provided. The 2019-20 lecture series focuses on key projects occurring at Rookery Bay and the collaboration of senior scientists and up-and-coming young staff members or interns. During co-presentations of findings and information, the teams will highlight the importance of mentorship in science and how working together with today’s young professionals positively impacts the future of environmental ecology and conservation in Florida.
