Tongues do all different kinds of things for us. They help us taste our food and swallow it – plus they're really important for talking and singing! Lots of other animals have tongues, like woodpeckers, cheetahs and chameleons. But do sharks have them? We asked shark scientist Melissa Cristina Marquez to help us find the answer.Got a question that'd you'd like to sink your teeth into? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact, and we'll help find the answer lickety split!

Melissa Cristina Márquez is a multi-hyphenate Latina in STEM. Currently a PhD candidate at Curtin University, Márquez is interested in what environmental factors influence the composition and distribution of elasmobranchs using a variety of marine technology. She has become a household name via her Scholastic books (the "Wild Survival" series), freelance environmental issue articles, and TV presenter roles (BBC, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and OceanX). Host of the "ConCiencia Azul" Spanish podcast, Melissa is passionate about making the scientific industry more diverse and inclusive, including making all of her educational content bilingual. With over 40,000 followers on social media, her platforms are filled with fun games (e.g. "Name That Shark," "ID That Ocean Critter," "Marine Tech Mondays," etc) that make learning about wildlife exciting! Featured in numerous media articles (GQ, People Chica, USA Today, etc), a Forbes "30 Under 30" honoree, and listed as one of InStyle's "BadAss Women for 2021," Melissa is currently aboard the OceanXplorer in the Atlantic Ocean as a scientific advisor/natural history show presenter.· www.melissacristinamarquez.com· www.oneplanetpodcast.org · www.creativeprocess.info

“A lot of people when you think of sharks, you think of hammerheads, great white sharks, tiger sharks, but there's so much more diversity than just that. There's over 500 different species and on average we're discovering new species every two weeks, not just of sharks, but also their cousins, the stingrays, skates and sometimes the chimeras as well. And so knowing that diversity exists, for me it's really important to get that message out there.”Melissa Cristina Márquez is a multi-hyphenate Latina in STEM.

Marine biologist Melissa Cristina Marquez's enthusiasm and passion around sharks is infectious and has rightfully earned her some recognition. We look into her efforts in fostering understanding around sharks, and also talk about crocodile bites. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to the second episode of The Ocean Embassy. Today I am interviewing someone super cool. Melissa Cristina Marquez is a wildlife scientist, science communicator, author, TV presenter and a lot more. We talk about her research on ocean predators' habitat development, the way in which she relies on marine technology in this work and why science communication and social media is vital for her future work. We also address the systemic issues Melissa has faced throughout her career such as sexism. Melissa has a Puerto Rican-Mexican background and holds a Bachelor degree in Marine Ecology and Conservation from the New College of Florida. Her Masters degree took her to the other side of the globe: she studied Marine Biology at the Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, and then moved to Perth, Australia to start her PhD research at Curtin University. Her research focuses on understanding what oceanographic processes influence the composition, distribution, and habitat use of Chondrichthyans in the Western Indian Ocean as well as local people's perceptions about sharks. She is a member of the board for Women in Ocean Science, coordinates the Mentorship program at Minorities in Shark Sciences, regularly writes for Forbes and advises organizations on their science strategies. I wanted to interview Melissa because she is a pro at communicating science and research about the wildlife in our oceans that gets very little talked about in public. It amazes me how important also research such as hers is in order to place small details of one animal's habitat into broader context of climate change. Cover art: Simon + Anna Madlener.

If there's one thing that's generally known about sharks, it's that they have sharp teeth. But have you heard they have to keep moving to stay alive? Why is that? In this episode we talk to shark scientist Melissa Cristina Marquez about this very question. Do you have a Moment of Um question that seems kind of fishy? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact, and we'll chew on the answer.

It's #SharkWeek2020...and it is easily one of the best examples of a massive divide in how the general public sees an animal compared to how experts see and talk about them. Science Twitter is a buzz with fact checking, jokes, and outright facepalming while Mike Tyson rumbles on the reef with Jaws and entertainment programs portray sharks as serial killers of the deep. That isn't the only dark side of all of this either. We talk about some of those things throughout this episode, but mostly we dispell some myths and mistruths while learning about what makes sharks so amazing! We talk shark diversity, finning, bad movies, mermaid purses, why not to chase sharks, and so much more!

Melissa Cristina Marquez is a Latina marine biologist and wildlife educator with a BA (Hons) in Marine Ecology and Conservation degree from New College of Florida, USA and an MSc in Marine Biology from Victoria University of Wellington, NZ. She is a freelance environmental contributor, and founder of The Fins United Initiative (TFUI), a program that brings attention to the unusual and diverse sharks (and their relatives) of the world and their researchers. Marquez also regularly hosts #STEMSaturdays on Twitter to provide career guidance and advice to young women in STEM worldwide.

This episode features Melissa Cristina Marquez: artist, author, public speaker, field biologist, and founder of The Fins United Initiative. We talk about how sharks are misunderstood predators and how the diversity of sharks is often as invisible as the diversity of the scientists who study them. She also talks about getting bit by an alligator. Tune in!
