Sharks are Friends, NOT food.
Hello Friends of Sharks:
I wanted to give you a bit of insight as to how I got interested in understanding sharks. When I was 8 years old, my mother passed away from Ovarian cancer. I was an angry child, and also a curious one, so I started trying to understand why there wasn't a cure for cancer yet, and what I could do to change that.
I stumbled upon the alternative medicine solution of taking shark cartilage pills as a cancer relief agent or even some went as far as to call it a cure. I immediately got excited, thinking I had found answers and a way to improve the Cancer research field in an interesting way. Once I started to read up on it, however, I realized that most of the literature was incomplete or inconclusive. However, I was hooked on sharks. I immediately changed direction and decided I wanted to understand all I could about them, how they effect the ocean as a whole, and what we can do to help them.

I decided that Sharks are friends, not food.
