Planet Shark: Shark Attack Survivor, Conservationist to Speak

Rodney Fox, survivor of one of the worst, non-fatal shark attacks, will make an exclusive visit to the Museum of Nature & Science in Fair Park next week. From surviving one of the worst, non-fatal shark attacks by a Great White to becoming one of the foremost advocates in the research and conservation of the very creature that could have taken his life—Rodney is an inspiration to us all!

On Saturday, July 28, ticket holders to the Planet Shark: Predator or Prey exhibition at the Museum of Nature & Science, will hear about Rodney’s unparalleled diving career of funny, unusual and thrilling experiences, including his famous shark attack story and being a part of the filming for the popular 1975 film, “Jaws.” Visitors can see a signed copy of Peter Benchley’s book, “Jaws,” in the Planet Shark exhibition at the Museum.

Public Q & A Sessions:10 a.m.-10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m.-1 p.m., 2 p.m.-2:30 p.m., 4 p.m.-4:30 p.m.

Drought, Rain & All Things Water - Dallas

This event is hosted by the North Texas Environmental Meetup Group. In addition to talking about water, the group will also be talking about the latest environmental news and then move on to member suggested topics.

This event is scheduled around dinnertime, so feel free to come a little bit early and get a bite to eat or pick up a pint while we're there. Since we'll be taking up some space, it's only fair to give back a bit to the restaurant.
