It was 10 years ago today that we lost one of the most brilliant, bravest minds in science. It was an honour to tell Eugenie Clark’s story, and it’s wonderful to know she inspires so many kids to this day! SHARK LADY is available everywhere. Celebrate Genie’s life by sharing it with a reader!

I've opened a Zazzle shop for my wildlife photography! I still love Pixels for prints, but I wanted to offer additional items like coasters, lunch boxes, and keychains. I've only uploaded a few images so far, but I'll be adding more. www.zazzle.com/goofy_owl_lu... #buyintoart 📷
