Sometime around the early 1600s, as Jamestown became an English crown colony, a Greenland shark was born. Could that same shark have been recently captured in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic? Join us as Dr. Richard Brill of VIMS shares his research on these fascinating creatures that live longer than any other known vertebrate.
 
The lecture is the October installment of the After Hours lecture series for 2017.
