Free online Shark class

Post by SCMurphy »

https://www.edx.org/course/sharks-globa ... ioee101x-0
The guy that taught me Ichthyology is one of the leaders of this class. It is free. If you want, there is a certificate program for $50. Class starts today, lasts a month. You can watch the lectures anytime during the month.
What you'll learn:
Habitats and distributions of sharks from around the world.
Evolutionary history and relationships of sharks and allies.
Functional anatomy of swimming, breathing, and eating.
Aspects of sensory biology, reproduction, and behavior.
Ecological roles of sharks.
Historical and cultural aspects of shark-human interactions.
The impacts of human behavior on shark populations.
How biology can inform conservation efforts.

Aquascape? I'm a crypt farmer.

If you've got bait, I've got wasabi!

I wish I could be like Mr. Sarcastic when I grow up! ;)
