Sink Your Teeth into Shark Week with MU’s Dr. Didier

Two scientists, Dr. Brit Finucci and Dr. Dominque Didier, wearing white lab coats and green gloves smile while holding a large, dark-colored deep-sea fish with rough, leathery skin and prominent fins in a laboratory. It’s a very large ghost shark and they are at the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. They stand in front of a white counter with lab equipment and an open laptop. The setting is clean and well-lit, with shelves, a sink, and an emergency shower visible in the background.

Millersville University’s Dr. Dominique Didier will release her book “Ghost Sharks of the World” on Jan. 13, 2026.
