Ep 04 - We Need to Talk About Sharks | Melissa Cristina Márquez




Murky Waters show

Summary: Meet Melissa Cristina Márquez, a powerhouse of science communication, endeavouring to provide a bridge between science and the public. She is a TEDx presenter, Forbes Science writer, podcast host, and Discovery Channels Shark Week's guest, who once shrugged off being bitten and dragged by a crocodile whilst filming. I talk with Melissa about these feats and more, focusing the conversation on the need to communicate the current plight of shark populations in the world and how she does it so effectively, as well as the challenges she faces both advocating for sharks and being a female scientist.
