The New England Aquarium Lecture Series presents renowned shark scientist and environmental educator Jasmin Graham. Graham specializes in elasmobranch (shark and ray) ecology and evolution and is president and CEO of Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS), an organization dedicated to supporting women of color in shark sciences.

She will screen an episode of her new PBS Terra series, Sharks Unknown with Jasmin Graham, and share how she and MISS have moved the shark documentary genre beyond white sharks and white men. Graham’s talk will dive into the vision for the show, the importance of sharks, and the importance of inclusivity in shark research and conservation.

This New England Aquarium Lecture Series event is free to the public and presented in partnership with the Lowell Institute. Advance registration is required.
