Can one person really make a difference? We answer this and plenty other questions in this episode! There is so much going on in the constant quest for a healthy planet that sometimes it can be overwhelming.

This episode we're hearing from Dr. Stephen Kajiura, an FAU professor with an interest in Hollywood, to unpack fact versus fiction in some blockbuster films. Dr. Kajiura is an ocean activist, professor, and marine biologist researching the sensory biology, comparative morphology and behavior of elasmobranchs.

We can all appreciate the wild stories that are told in movies, but have you thought about what that means for education in the real world? So why make it fiction? We hope to answer this question and more, to better understand how we as viewers (and listeners) can be mindful of any harmful false narratives.
