Keynote:'The Science of Sharks: Using Technology to Separate Fact from Fiction’

Dr. Taylor Chapple grew up in the great state of Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie. He received his BA from Boston University in biology with a concentration in marine science in 2001. Dr. Chapple then designed experimental fishing nets to limit bycatch off New England. In 2002 he first began studying sharks off the coasts of Florida and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Dr. Chapple received his Ph.D in 2009 from the University of California, Davis, developing ways to estimate and assess shark species with little data. At UCD his work focused on the common thresher shark and the white shark. In 2010 Taylor began an appointment with the Max Planck Institute in Germany, researching the energetics and behavior of highly nomadic species. He also studied how sharks navigate by developing a magnetic tag, which can manipulate the ambient magnetic field around a free-swimming animal. Dr. Chapple is currently a research scientist at Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University working on continuing assessment of white sharks as well insights into their behavior, physiology and movements. Recently, Dr. Chapple’s efforts have been focused on developing advancements in non-invasive methods to attach biologging tags to large predators.
