This episode we dive back into our bumper episode on shark adaptations with phenomenal scientists and communicators Amani, Jaida and Meghan! In part 2, we pick up where we left off - exploring the depths of the ocean with some glow-in-the-dark sharks. We find out how and why some sharks emit their own light, meet some pretty weird characters from the deep sea, and discover the shark who loves to chow down on moose (but very, very slowly). Stay tuned to learn about Amani's love for bonnetheads, Meghan's adoration for broadnose sevengills and find out why Jaida mistrusts invertebrates...
We also learn more about Meghan (@megholst), Jaida (@soFISHtication) and Amani's (@curly_biologist) scientific careers, as well as the work they do outside of science. This includes their roles with Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS) and Minorities in Aquarium and Zoo Sciences (MIAZS), two organisations that strive to overcome systemic barriers and promote diversity and inclusion within their fields. You can find out more, and learn how to support and get involved, here www.misselasmo.org and here www.miazs.org.
