Marine biologist Jasmin Graham joins co-hosts V.V. Ganeshananthan and Whitney Terrell to discuss her new book, Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist, which is about the beauty and diversity of sharks and her career studying them inside and outside of academia. Graham, who left a doctoral program and subsequently founded the community-based organization Minorities in Shark Science to make the field more accessible and inclusive, unpacks how Jaws-inspired fears about sharks fail to understand the species. She also talks about seeing similarities in how sharks and Black people are misrepresented, misunderstood, brutalized, and threatened. Graham reads from Sharks Don't Sink.

Marine biologist and shark specialist Jasmin Graham faced some barriers to entry as a Black woman attempting to follow her dream of studying sharks. She chronicles that story, and tells us more about sharks, in her new memoir, Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist. The book also discusses Jasmin's role in the foundation of Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS) a group working to provide support for other aspiring marine biologists of color.This segment is guest-hosted by Kousha Navidar
Sharks are full of secrets, despite being some of the oldest creatures on the planet. Marine biologist Jasmin Graham has spent a decade studying them — and trying to bring more women of color like her into the field.
We welcome back shark scientist and CEO/Co-Founder of Minorities in Shark Sciences, Jasmin Graham, and celebrate the release of her new book, Sharks Don't Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Scientist. We talk about the incredible adaptations and resilience of sharks, the glorious weirdness of sawfishes - a species Jasmin has worked closely with - and why Jasmin feels innately connected to sharks and compelled to protect them. We also talk about the barriers faced by gender minorities of color in STEM fields, and Jasmin's journey to continue science outside the confines of traditional academia. On this journey, Jasmin co-founded Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS) with Carlee Jackson, Amani Webber-Schultz and Jaida Elcock, to promote diversity and inclusion in shark research. We discuss how MISS has grown into a global community, and how Jasmin and her fellow co-founders have built a safe, accessible and welcoming space for the good of people and sharks.

Listen to Young Initiative Award winner Jasmin Graham of Minorities in Shark Science (MISS) in conversation with Blue Marine's Charles Clover and BOAT International's Sasha Bonsor.
As a kid, Jasmin Graham was endlessly curious about the ocean. That eventually led her to a career in marine science studying sharks and rays. But until relatively recently, she had never met another Black woman in her field. That all changed in 2020 when she connected with a group of Black women studying sharks through the Twitter hashtag #BlackInNature. Finding a community was so powerful that the women decided to start a group. On today's show, Jasmin talks with host Maddie Sofia about Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS) and how it's supporting women of color through hands-on workshops and community building. (Encore)To see pictures of MISS's first workshop check out their website.
*TW: This is a powerful and very important conversation, however, there are references to systemic racism, sexism, discrimination and sexual assault which some listeners may find triggering [32-47 mins]* Pursuing a career in marine science can be hugely rewarding. You can make a living studying the ocean and its inhabitants, and answering those important questions that one day might help save our seas – pretty cool, right? But setting out on the scientific path can also be a daunting, and at times, overwhelming experience. Where do you even begin? How can you get a foot in the door? Should you do a PhD? What should your research question be? And what if you don't ‘fit the mould'?! If you're about to take the plunge into science, or are just considering dipping in a toe, then fear not - this week we have amazing shark scientists Alifa Haque, Catherine Macdonald and Jasmine Graham on the pod to discuss their own journeys into science, the triumphs and challenges along the way, and any advice they have for budding scientists out there. We also discuss some of the systemic and structural barriers still present, and how the scientific community can work to make science a more inclusive, representative and accessible profession, on both an individual and institutional level.

Our guest today is Jasmin Graham, a marine biologist with the Mote Marine Laboratory and specializes in the study of sharks, skates, rays and their evolution. She is also the co-founder of Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS). I am on my soapbox today about breaking the mold. There are times when people may have a view of what you should or should not do or be, but I'm encouraged by people that choose to follow their passion, chart their own course, and forge a path for others.
This week on Sharkpedia we interview scientist Jasmin Graham! Jasmin works at Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida, and much of her research helps evaluate the critically endangered small tooth sawfish. We break down Jasmin's article, Large-scale space use of large juvenile and adult small tooth sawfish Pristis pectinata: implications for management. Get ready to learn all about small tooth sawfish movement along the Florida coast! You can follow Jasmin at @Elasmo_gal on twitter, as well as the organization she co-founded, Minorities In Shark Science, at @MISS_Elasmo and misselasmo.org!

As a kid, Jasmin Graham was endlessly curious about the ocean. Her constant questioning eventually led her to a career in marine science studying sharks and rays. But until relatively recently, she had never met another Black woman in her field. That all changed last year when she connected with a group of Black women studying sharks through the Twitter hashtag #BlackInNature. Finding a community was so powerful that the women decided to start a group. On today's show, Jasmin talks with host Maddie Sofia about Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS) and how it's uplifting women of color through hands-on workshops and community building.To see pictures of MISS's first workshop check out their website.
Lemon sharks! Goblin sharks! Bonnet sharks! Whale sharks! And ...sawfish? WE NEEDED A BIGGER BOAT. One shark episode was not enough, during this: The Week of the Shark. Sure, Alie just got married a few days ago, but that doesn't mean we can't throw together this bundle of wonder with a few of the incredible researchers from Minorities in Shark Science. Get ready to befriend Jaida Elcock, Jasmin Graham, and Amani Webber-Schultz as they spin yarns about wild field stories, explain why they love sharks, debunk common flim flams, quote favorite shark flicks, and make sure appreciate the stunning diversity and evolution of these ancient creatures. Sharks: nicer than a holy water vending machine. (That'll make sense later.)

Maya speaks with Jasmin Graham, a co-founder of the Minorities in Shark Sciences (MiSS) organization During this episode of the Conservation Cast, Jasmin explained her aim to help change the culture of marine science and shark science in particular and ways in which MiSS is going about making marine science inclusive. Jasmin shared her experiences of boat trips, summer camps and workshops set up and funded by MiSS, igniting a passion for children in low-income communities who don't typically have access to such activities. Viewers were also taught about the significance of getting children excited about and involved in STEM. Minorities in Shark Sciences Maya's community raised $1862.77 for Minorities in Shark Sciences, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting women of color that are interested in shark science. The organization is passionate about eliminating the financial barrier that has kept a lot of people of color out of marine science. The org was created as a direct result of the #BlackInNature hashtag on twitter, aiming to amplify the voices of women of color through building community and establishing a connection through meetings and collaborations.
Join Ellen and special guest Jasmin Graham for a review of the most dangerous snoot in the water, the sawfish! In this episode we discuss what's up with that wild saw on their face, what makes them such impressive predators, how they're affected by human activity, and what we can do to help.
BONUS EPISODE! Jasmin Graham talks us through building scientific research teams, why sharks are so important to study, and we solve the Shark PR crisis once and for all.
