In this episode we chat about sexual harassment in science, highlighting the vulnerability associated with early career researchers, remote field sites, and women of colour. We learn about Rachel Carson, an influential marine biologist and author who sparked the environmental movement. We had a really great chat with Melissa Márquez, a passionate shark scientist and science communicator, all about her views on reducing competition and inspiring the next generation of scientists. Lastly, we discuss The Fins United Initiative, an amazing educational program founded and run by Melissa!
