Instead of letting that stop her, Clark went on to earn both a Master of Arts in 1946 and a Doctorate of Philosophy in 1950, both from New York University. Initially, she sought to attend graduate school at Columbia University, but her application was rejected out of fear that she would eventually choose to leave her scientific career in order to focus on raising children. During summers, she studied at the University of Michigan Biological Station and prior to graduate school she worked for Celanese Corporation as a chemist. She received a Bachelor of Arts in zoology from Hunter College in 1942. In addition to being regarded as an authority in marine biology, Clark was popularly recognized and used her fame to promote marine conservation. She was nicknamed The Lady Shark because of that.Ĭlark was a pioneer in the field of scuba diving for research purposes. The American ichthyologist Eugenie Clark realized this a long time ago and started trying to change our perception of these wonderful creatures. Sharks are incredibly important to our eco system no matter how scary they look.
Get them while they are young and not negatively influenced (too much) yet. Then I found that most are actually aimed at children. It's Shark Week so I've decided to fill my TBR with a few related books. He didn’t want to swim with them, but he thought this woman was brave. Sharks are like monsters and he thought this was pretty cool. He couldn’t believe this woman got so close. There is great info in this short story about sharks. Not many people can have a life like this. She went on 72 submersible dives in her time. She died in 2015 having accomplished and studied so much. She eventually taught at the University of Maryland, so close to me now. This woman went into the unknown and faced these monsters alone when no one else would.
I think it’s natural to be afraid of sharks and that movie amped up all our fears.
She sat there with this vicious killer and studied and took notes. The water in the cave was less salty and easier to remove parasites. She found that ramora fish were cleaning off it’s body, even going in and out of its gills removing parasites. The crazy woman went into this cave with this vicious shark to study. Everyone thought they had to move or die. One day diving in Mexico she found a a ‘sleeping shark’ still in a cave. At this time nothing was known about them. She studies sharks and begins to be the ‘shark lady’. No one thinks a girl can be a scientists, but her determination helps her break through that barrier. The story starts in the 1930s with a little girl who loves the aquarium and wants to know everything about fish.
