27 min - Amani Webber - Schultz - "Your GPA Does Not Define You"Amani Webber-Schultz is a current PhD student at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, studying shark morphology and swimming biomechanics. She aims to better understand how dermal denticles (the scales on sharks) interact with the water around them and direct flow around their body. Specifically, her PhD is looking at these interactions at their nostrils and tail. Amani is also the Chief Financial Officer for Minorities in Shark Sciences, helping them to open doors for underrepresented groups in the marine science world.Follow AmaniOn InstagramOn TwitterBuy Gills Club Merchandise!https://www.bonfire.com/org/atlantic-white-shark-conservancy-inc-460949763/Follow Gills Club:On InstagramOn TwitterOn Facebook31 min
