Sharks Don’t Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist with Jasmin Graham

Falmouth Public Library will present an author talk and book signing with Jasmin Graham on Wednesday, August 14,

 She will be discussing her new book Sharks Don’t Sink: Adventures of a Rogue Shark Scientist. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event from Eight Cousins.

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.

Jasmin Graham is a marine biologist in the field of elasmobranch ecology and evolution, currently specializing in smalltooth sawfish and hammerhead sharks. She is the co-founder of Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS), an organization providing support for women of color in the field of shark biology and ecology, in order to foster greater diversity in marine science. She is a recipient of the WWF Conservation Leadership Award, the Safina Launchpad Center Fellowship, and a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.
