Right now we're hearing a lot about Europe.
How are you thinking about this moment?
It is really scary.
How do you keep yourself from not getting sort of overwhelmed by this information?
Like what keeps you working on it, I guess?

You're listening to a group of shark researchers on a boat off the coast of Miami.
voice-verified
They're trying to get a handle on how shark populations are doing by going out and meeting sharks in person.
voice-verified
They just caught an eight-foot-long male bull shark using a baited buoy called a drumline.
voice-verified
And now three adults are gently lying on top of it to hold it down on a semi-submerged fiberglass platform.
voice-verified
A pump keeps seawater flowing past the shark's gills so it can breathe.
voice-verified
And over the next 15 minutes or so, they measure the shark, take blood and tissue samples, count parasites, do a microbiome swab, and implant a tag, all before sliding it back in the water.
voice-verified
The team will do it again and again, all in a field day's work for shark scientists, trying to answer how shark populations are doing.
voice-verified
Catherine McDonald was the lead scientist on that boat.
voice-verified
She's a marine conservation biologist and director of the Shark Research and Conservation Program at the University of Miami.
