Oregon State University hosting in-person shark dissection at McMenamins 

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon State University’s Big Fish Lab is giving a “grand finale” presentation of its educational “Summer of the Shark” series — which includes an in-person shark dissection — at McMenamins Bagdad Theater and Pub in Southeast Portland on July 23.

The event includes lectures on the types of sharks found on Oregon’s Coast, the lives of mother sharks and the risk of shark attacks. The event also includes trivia, discussions with local shark experts, and, once again, a shark dissection performed live.

“Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to meet Oregon's shark scientists and learn about the important work they do,” Mcmenamins announced. “And we'll be projecting the dissection onto the theater screen, so you don't miss out on any of the details. And just in case you're wondering, don't worry: the shark died of natural causes.”

Doors open for the event at 6 p.m. and the show will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets for the event are $12 for adults and $8 kids 17 and younger.
