- Shining a light on the issues and challenges female scientists face through shark facts.
Melissa Cristina Marquez is a Latina marine biologist and wildlife educator with a BA (Hons) in marine ecology and conservation from New College of Florida, USA and an MSc in marine biology from Victoria University of Wellington, NZ.
She is a freelance environmental contributor, and founder of The Fins United Initiative,
a programme that brings attention to the unusual and diverse sharks (and their relatives) of the world and the threats they face.
She regularly hosts #STEMSaturdays on Twitter to provide career guidance and advice to young women in STEM worldwide.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
As a latina marine biologist working offshore in O&G industry, I totally undertand the sexism in our field and lack of role models. Thank you for speaking up and sharing these problems and knowledge to the general public. I really wish your talks open people's minds and encourage other girls and women to join Science. You already are a role model. You go, girl! 💕
After years, I finally found my role model😭
go for it!
Loving all the people in the comments just proving her points
Cristina, thank you for your words, I'm applying for my masters degree in France, and as a young latina, you inspire me
The role model issue is SO IMPORTANT.
Idk I've never had one and I would say I'm pretty successful in life
the reality is when polled for center of interests women respond they dont have much interest in science , that s a fact !
When I think shark researcher I think Ocean Ramsey and she might be very beautiful but the reason she is kinda my rolemodel is because of her achievements
Bookmarking this for my daughter.
Brilliant! And so true, we need more diversity in science!
Brilliant and articulate. Respect.
I came here from Spirits podcast! I really loved your episode with Julia and Amanda!
You're famous now! Good. You have a great message to share
all your guyses comments make me wanna cry. I'm a crybaby. but she's right! I love her!!! Right now I'm taking a chemistry class and every once in a while I have looked up female scientists and the story always seems to be she did some important work and was neglected until some guy decided to take credit for it.
Brilliant!
I love her so much.
I guess the same unfair, biased inequality due to sexism exists in other fields scientific or otherwise. The challenge is a historical one stemming from male dominance outside the home, which was the default domain for women for millenia. Greater awareness and communication on the subject such as this very good talk by this energetic, young lady will help resetting the bias, tradition slowly over time.
Wao, this young lady is Awesome!
Que linda eres. Este video llego a mi cuando mas lo necesitaba.!!!
Sylvia Earle would be So proud ... As we all are. 8-)

"I'd hit that "

A better-suited person will take the spotlight. It just happens to be male until robots take over.
Not sure if it is her age or something else but time to grow a pair of claspers of her own, "be the boss lady, own it"!
this is a very low quality talk.....even in the shark category.....
You are a scientist.
You know that women are now 50% of the workforce ... and 60% of college graduates.
If women are under-represented in some professional fields, what does this imply?
Boohoo.
It's just so funny that you're boohooing a woman who swims with sharks and got dragged away from her team by a crocodile in the middle of the night, and said calmly "Guys, Something's got me." as it happened and didn't freak out.
She's obviously got way stronger nerves than you, me, and most of the people who've seen this, but once she starts talking about the other struggles she's faced, then it's all "Oh, boohoo, what a baby." That woman is one of the most badass mfers on this planet.
She even says she was interested in sharks because they scared other people and dives with them all the time, then you're gonna accuse her of being what, an overly sensitive crybaby?
Meh!
"I am a woman, and because of that I was put a apart in the field" .... "I am a woman, and I do not have conditions for be pregnant, or have my period or breastfeed, plus I am obvious smaller and shorter than everyone else on the boat so don't count with me for heavy lifting".
Make up you mind.
Raquel Pereira u mad ?
@@jocelyn4360 no she s saying the truth you are the one mad at her for pointing that out !
