Emily Meese is a Master's student in the CSULB Shark Lab in California, USA. She is interested in the spatial and behavioral ecology of sharks and fish - which is why we are interested in her! She took some time to answer questions for The Fins United Initiative "Behind the Fins" interview.
![]() This "Behind the Fins" interview is done by TFUI Officer Jessie Wingar. Dr. David Shiffman is the man behind the popular twitter account, @whysharksmatter, but I first met David Shiffman during the summer of 2009 when I was a rising Junior at the University of Miami. At the time, David was working on his PhD. Since completing his PhD in 2016 at the University of Miami, he has become a Liber Ero Posdoctoral Fellow at Simon Fraser University in Canada. For our Behind the Fins segment, I (Jessie Wingar) interviewed him. As with many marine scientists, the love for ocean started at a young age. Growing up David says that, “I’ve been interested in sharks as long as my family can remember…I’ve wanted to be a marine biologist since at least 7th grade.” One of the first stories I remember David telling was about a crazy field experience he had. Dive into the marine world with George Lauder as he opens up his lab to us at The Fins United Initiative in a special "Behind the Fins" interview.
