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’s Shark Fest.
