You never forget your first shark. For Jasmin Graham, it was a little bonnethead, a type of hammerhead shark: three feet long, gray with a white underbelly, rough-skinned, strongly muscled, and beautiful. Jasmin fell in love: with sharks, and with science. Though she tried to follow the traditional path to becoming a marine biologist, she soon found that, in a field where it was harder to find other young women of color than the elusive elasmobranchii (sharks, rays, skates, and sawfish) she sought, navigating the choppy waters of traditional academic study was no longer worth it. So Jasmin quit. But that didn't mean abandoning her passion: rather, Jasmin sought to pursue it in another way, joining withthree other Black women to form Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS), an organization dedicated to providing support and opportunities for other young women of color pursuing the fascinating and environmentally essential work of marine studies. Jasmin became an independent researcher: a rogue shark scientist, learning how to keep those endangered but precious sharks swimming free-just like her. Sharks Don't Sink is a riveting, moving, and ultimately triumphant memoir at the intersection of science and social justice: a guidebook to how we can all learn to respect and protect some of nature's most misunderstood and vulnerable creatures-and grant the same grace to ourselves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Graham, Jasmin. 650 0 $a Women marine biologists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American scientists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Sharks $x Research. 700 1 $a Rasin, Makeba, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Graham, Jasmin. $t Sharks don't sink $b First edition. $d New York : Pantheon Books, [2024] $z 9780593685266 $w (DLC) 2023050535 941 $a 1 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025728.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=88DB2C54383D11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
