Work of MSU shark scientist featured on National Geographic documentary
STARKVILLE, Miss.—As a father of three, Marcus Drymon has watched his fair share of Disney movies, but he never imagined his work as an associate Extension professor at Mississippi State University would land him a spot on a National Geographic feature documentary on Disney+.
“Being part of this show was a blast,” said Drymon.
The marine biologist, more often referred to as a “shark scientist,” is stationed at MSU’s Coastal Research and Extension Center in Biloxi. In late 2022, Drymon’s work caught the attention of a production company that contacted him about a documentary, which led to multiple conversations about his research over the next year.
