During the next few weeks Americans will be inundated with shark coverage. Discovery Channel’s Shark Week is next week and tomorrow night Sharknado 2 premieres on SyFy channel. We are obsessed with all things shark related.
Although most of it is for fun, many false facts are spread based on these programs.
Here is a recent article from Huffington Post by ocean scientist and The Shark Whisperer author Dr. Ellen Prager about sharks.

So enjoy the shows but remember it’s fiction and for fun!
In non-shark-related news, Starz is premiering Outlander on August 9. The wildly successful books are like candy but the series sounds like it will be equally good. Although I do not have Starz, they are releasing the first episode online on August 2.
Enjoy your day!
