Dun dun. Dun dun. It’s Shark Week at the Science Mill 🦈

You know what that means — exciting, hands-on experiences that explore these seriously awesome creatures, their environmental impact, and the careers that deal with studying and protecting sharks. Come join us this July for some summer shark fun!
