Sharks and hurricanes: that's not a Sharknado sequel, it's real research. In this episode of Beyond Jaws, Dr. Aaron Carlisle shares how a childhood moment of terror watching Jaws turned into a career in shark science. Aaron is now an Assistant Professor of Fisheries Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he explores how the physical and biological environment influences shark behavior, distribution, and ecology using cutting-edge tools like stable isotopes and biologging.

Sharks and hurricanes also becomes a metaphor for navigating the whirlwind of academic expectations and public perceptions. From family members telling him to study "something important like crabs" to dealing with the rise of social media influencers as "shark experts," Aaron reflects on what it really means to be a marine biologist in today's world. If you're a student, early-career scientist, or just a shark nerd, this episode offers career insights, research stories, and a candid look at the culture of science.
