Radio station WUSF is doing a series on Florida women in science. Their first subject is internationally recognized shark expert, ichthyologist and founding executive director of Sarasota’s Mote Marine Laboratory, Dr. Eugenie Clark. Her website is, appropriately, www.sharklady.com.
Walking through the halls at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, you can’t help but notice Dr. Eugenie Clark’s door. It’s plastered with decals and bumper stickers that say things like: “Dive Naked” – and “Be kind to animals, kiss a shark.”
