Christopher Malinowski, PhD, a former grad student, is one of the contestants on the new Netflix competition series “All the Sharks.” Christopher now serves as the Director of Research and Conservation at the Ocean First Institute. Previously, he’s studied fish ecology with School of Freshwater Sciences Professor Emeritus John Janssen. Christopher is joined by his friend and colleague, Dr. Brendan Talwar – his teammate in the show – from Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Together, they are the Shark Docs. Through the show, they’re hoping to make the most of the opportunity to share a new perspective on sharks.
All the Sharks is a thrilling new competition series where four teams of passionate shark experts embark on the ultimate adventure to find and photograph the most sharks. Racing against time – and each other – teams dive deep into the world’s most spectacular shark habitats, all in hopes of winning a $50,000 prize for their chosen marine charity. Over six action-packed episodes, they’ll travel from the crystal-clear Caribbean waters to the mysterious depths of the Pacific where they’ll come face to toothy face with incredible species like the critically endangered Great Hammerhead and the remarkable walking Epaulette Shark. Blending breath-taking visuals, “fin-tastic’ shark facts, and stunning underwater encounters, it’s a fun, fast-paced journey into the misunderstood world of sharks – showcasing why these incredible creatures are more vital to our planet now more than ever.
Christopher and Brendan will also be sharing all kinds of behind the scenes and science & conservation material through their YouTube and Instagram. Check out the show on Netflix, which is out now!
