In this episode, Angie interviews Jasmin Graham, a marine biologist specializing in the study of Smalltooth sawfish and Hammerhead sharks. Jasmin co-founded 'Minorities in Shark Sciences' (MISS), an organization supporting women of color in shark biology. The discussion covers Jasmine's background, her favorite shark species, and her efforts to debunk common myths about sharks. Jasmine shares her experiences as a Black female scientist in a white male-dominated field, the importance of diversity in scientific research, and highlights her organization's initiatives to foster inclusivity and collaboration in marine science. The episode also delves into her new book, 'Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist,' and her participation in PBS Shark Week and National Geographic\u2019s Shark Fest.\nYou can learn more about Jasmin Graham and WWF HERE\nYou can learn more about MISS HERE\nYou can learn more about Jasmin's book Sharks Don't Sink HERE\n\nPodcast Timeline\n00:00 Welcome to All Creatures Podcast\n00:13 Introducing Jasmine Graham: Marine Biologist Extraordinaire\n01:51 Jasmine's Early Life and Love for the Ocean\n04:09 Favorite Shark Species and Research Stories\n05:55 Debunking Shark Myths and Misunderstandings\n14:25 Relating to Sharks: Overcoming Stereotypes\n19:42 Challenges in Academia and the Birth of MISS\n28:21 MISS: Empowering the Next Generation of Marine Scientists\n33:17 Understanding the Enemy Perception\n33:44 Diversity in Shark Science\n35:41 Challenges and Realities of Community-Based Conservation\n39:44 Innovative Approaches in Shark Research\n44:02 Rogue Shark Science: Breaking the Mold\n46:15 Current Projects and Future Directions\n59:05 Inspiration and Advice for Aspiring Scientists\n01:03:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------\nAnother thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
