🦈❄️ Scientists explain how the #Greenland #shark heart maintains a steady rhythm for over 400 years. New #research into metabolic efficiency and cold-water adaptations shows how these #sharks survive in the North Atlantic.

Our favorite headline today: "Shark lasers could help save vulnerable species."

From @popsci: "By merging optical technology and geochemistry, a group of researchers are gaining far more accurate information on the snub-nosed speartooth shark’s age, as well as the health of its environment."

The pirate ship gets blown about – an illustration from Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship

This is the scene from the first Clever Dad story where the winds blow the pirate ship about so that the pirates can’t find their way back to the island of Polysneezia. Eric the elephant disguised as a dragon has scared them so much that they ran back to their pirate ship. Below is the extract of the text from the story.

In a puff of air Easterly and Northerly were off, and the others watched and then fell about laughing, as the winds blew the pirate ship offshore and then around in circles, so that the pirates all got very dizzy.

The story is available in printed form and also as an ebook from Amazon. There are illustrations throughout the text and the printed book has them repeated at the back so that younger children can colour them in.

I’m currently working on a third story in the Clever Dad series with Gerry Newton creating the illustrations.

Clever Dad and the Pirate Ship is available from Amazon globally. This is the UK link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clever-Pirate-Ship-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/1980869561/ and this is the .com link https://www.amazon.com/Clever-Pirate-Ship-Paul-No%C3%ABl-ebook/dp/B08BPLDLL6/

In our Etsy shop, https://junagarhmedia.etsy.com, you will find blank greeting cards for sale of the cover artwork.

🦈🔦 Researchers at the University of #Melbourne developed a method using laser-induced mass #spectrometry to analyze #elements within shark vertebrae.

The technique allows for more accurate age estimation and environmental tracking than traditional visual growth ring analysis.
