I’m not exactly sure if this is Café Society material, but Eugenie Clark, the well known shark researcher has died of lung cancer at the age of 92.
I first learned of her as a kid from TV specials. Eventually I too became a marine biologist and even had the opportunity to meet her once. Nice lady and a great researcher.
My gosh, I remember reading a book about the “Shark Lady” when I was a kid.
RIP
I did a book report on her in fourth grade.
RIP. 
A bit late to the thread, but had to post. I had vhs tapes of some of her specials and used to watch them all the time as a kid.
RIP
Oh man, I really liked her expertise and dedication in some older shows I saw on sharks years ago. I can still picture her perfectly as she made quite an impression on me. She seemed like a very fine person and, Latimera, a worthy role model. Thanks for sharing this news.
I wonder if the National Geographic channel will run a Sharknado marathon in her honor?
