An interesting read on how the popular press shapes the available conservation strategies by limiting popular support for some approaches/issues and over inflating others.

Book:
The lady and the sharks, by Eugenie Clark

I love a good autobiography by a trailblazing woman scientist, and this one did not disappoint. Eugenie Clark is famous for her work with sharks, even though she also worked with many other fascinating fishes that she writes about with equal enthusiasm.

This one was a very entertaining read, including personal details such as what it's like to dive while pregnant.
