Speaker: Sarah Knutie
Meet iconic species like blue-footed boobies, hammerhead sharks, giant tortoises, and other amazing wildlife that call the Galápagos Islands home. Then we go on assignment with National Geographic Explorer and disease ecologist Sarah Knutie to explore the groundbreaking science of the air, land, and sea with Darwin’s finches and shark nurseries.
