I recently learned about GHOST SHARKS!
A paper published this year (Finucci et al., 2024) announced the discovery of Harriotta avia, a new species of ghost shark native to New Zealand and Australia. I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Dominique Didier, who helped discover them! She was super helpful, a ton of fun, and clearly very passionate and excited about what she does. She helped teach me about ghost sharks in general and spoke with me about the process of finding, documenting, and announcing a new species.
