Yes, you read that correctly! Join us for a shark exhibit, a presentation and in-person shark dissection at Crystal Ballroom and Lola's Room - all courtesy of Oregon State University's Big Fish Lab. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to meet Oregon's shark scientists and learn about the important work they do. And we'll be projecting the dissection onto the big screen, so you don't miss out on any of the details.

We are a research group located in Newport, at OSU's Hatfield MarineScience Center. Though we were originally established to fill a gap in ourunderstanding of sharks in Oregon waters, our work also takes us globally - toIreland, the Maldives, Mexico, South Africa, and more. Our scientists study avariety of topics, from shark moms to shark diet to learning about how sharkswill respond to climate change and even how frequently sharks eat plastic. Ourwork has been featured on both local news and national and internationaltelevision, including Discovery Channel, NationalGeographic, and BBC.
