Happy Shark Week 2019 from the Monterey Bay Aquarium! We sat down with our very own senior research scientist Dr. Sal Jorgensen to chat about the current state of his white shark research, the process of coming with new technologies to study these elusive animals, and what it's like to be the shark scientist he's wanted to be since he was a kid.
