When marine biologist Dr. Mikki McComb-Kobza saw Jaws as a child, it terrified her—and shaped a generation’s fear of sharks. Decades later, she’s leading global shark conservation efforts and showing us a different truth. In this powerful talk, Mikki reveals how knowledge can turn fear into fascinat
