About this talk

From Shark Week and candy commercials to the iconic film Jaws, it's clear sharks are prominent in our collective imaginations. According to wildlife educator Melissa Cristina Marquez, however, something key is missing in these depictions. In this thought-provoking talk, she speaks about the similarities between female sharks and women in STEM -- and why the two should get more time in the spotlight.
