From South Africa to Australia to California, using state of the art technology, he electronically tags animals to gain insights into their lives when we aren’t there to observe them. At OSU, Taylor studies the sharks off our coasts and works with local communities to better understand sharks in Oregon. Relatively little is known about how White, Salmon and Sevengill sharks affect our coastal ecosystems, but Taylor and the BFL plan to change that.Alex McInturf, Research Associate, College of Agricultural Sciences.Alex McInturf is a Research Associate in the Big Fish Lab. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, she attended Williams College for her undergraduate education. Following graduation, she was an intern with Oceans Research (South Africa) and the Bimini Shark Lab (Bahamas), where she studied white sharks, tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, and sandtiger sharks. She obtained her PhD in Animal Behavior from the University of California, Davis, for which she examined physiology, behavior and distribution of basking sharks, sevengill sharks and salmon.Dates, times and other details for in-person events are subject to change.Photos and videos from this event may be used in Oregon State University promotional materials.
