José E. Trujillo, Ph.D., is a marine biologist from Ecuador with advanced degrees in marine biology from Chile and a Ph.D. in marine science from New Zealand. His research has explored how kelp forests support egg-laying sharks and how young reef sharks evade predators using their environment and physiology. As a shark behavioral ecologist, his work highlights key factors shaping shark nursery habitats. Now a Postdoctoral Associate at Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, he leads research on shark depredation in the Florida Keys.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live under the sea? Whether it's a fish, marine mammal, or invertebrate- all marine life has developed sensory abilities over millions of years to best allow them to survive in ocean environments. 

Join us for a deep dive into the wacky ways sea creatures perceive their environments- from reef fishes' ultraviolet detection, to the "sixth sense" of sharks, to the ability of octopuses to "taste" through their skin, plus many more amazing sensory abilities.
