(October 2023) Our guest is Carlee Jackson, who is a marine biologist studying sharks and sea turtles in Florida. She is a co-founder and the Director of Communications for Minorities in Shark Sciences (MISS), an organization dedicated to increasing diversity and accessibility in shark sciences. Carlee was the recipient of the 2022 Justice in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion award by the Florida Marine Science Educators Association and makes appearances in National Geographic Channel’s Sharkfest. She is the author of Sharks (A Day in the Life), and Green Sea Turtle: A First Field Guide to the Ocean Reptile from the Tropics.

Throughout Carlee's career, she noted the real barriers to access in marine and shark science. From limitations in education, awareness of the field, and the "pay to play" atmosphere of internship programs; being "the only" motivated Carlee to become "the first". She is eager to introduce more minority students to the field of marine science so no one else has to be "the only" in classes, in graduate programs, and on boats.

(July 2022) This week we are thrilled to welcome Carlee Jackson from Minorities in Shark Science (MISS). Carlee is the Director of Communications from MISS, which is an organization dedicated to increasing diversity in the shark sciences. Carlee's graduate studies in Marine Biology had her involved in tagging sharks off Florida in the USA and she has also done shark research off the coast of Belize. Carlee has also worked in sea turtle conservation and has been heavily involved in education and fighting to help preserve our oceans. This was truly a wonderful interview and one not to miss about MISS!
