#114 - Amani Webber-Schultz: Sharks and Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS)

Today's storyteller is Amani Webber-Schultz! Amani is awesome, and this is a great conversation so I'm excited for y'all to hear it. I think I first found Amani on Twitter because of her How It Pants series, where she draws pants on animals and people debate how that critter would wear pants, and I love it. Basically I showed up for the fun critter art and stayed for all the great science and sharks content! Amani majored in marine science at Rutgers, is a co-founder of the Minorities in Shark Sciences (known as MISS), and is also involved with The Field School in Florida. We talk about ALL of this so I don't want to give too much away but enjoy this conversation about sharks, all about MISS, How It Pants, awesome shark facts, and what Amani is up to next. Enjoy!
