This week's episode of Insight on SBS focused on the topic of sharks and prevention of shark attacks. With input from scientists, marine ecologists, surfers, fishermen, and concerned local community members, this episode asks the question, what might actually work to keep people safe in the water? If you're interested, you can watch the whole episode here: Shark! What can be done to prevent more shark attacks?
And in further, non-marine science related news, test your face recognition skills below, read about the discovery of salt water on Mars, or check out the new micropigs created in a Chinese genomics institute!
