Why Sharks Matter: A Deep Dive with the World's Most Misunderstood Predator | The Ocean Decade Show Summer Reading List

Happy World Ocean Month! In a first for The Ocean Decade Show, during this month's episode Taylor is trying her hand at reviewing a book! She sits down with social media phenomenon, #SciComm expert, and acclaimed shark scientist Dr. David Shiffman to discuss his brand new book entitled Why Sharks Matter: A Deep Dive with the World's Most Misunderstood Predator. Taylor and David cover his inspiration for writing the book, differences between academic writing and writing for the general public, and ways in which the not-so-critically acclaimed Shark Week programming could improve by 2030. To learn more about all things sharks, follow David on social media @WhySharksMatter and buy his new book available from Johns Hopkins University Press https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/12267/why-sharks-matter.
