Shark Week isn’t just TV—it’s science with a splash of wild experimentation. Marine biologist Kendyl Berna reveals how the annual Discovery Channel event lets researchers ditch rigid grants for jaw-dropping, out-of-the-box studies that keep audiences glued—and ecosystems healthy. Sharks, she calls “garbage trucks of the sea,” naturally target the weak, making humans far less likely prey. Even Berna admits she’s more comfortable wearing a mask—sharks mistake humans for predators. With “Jaws” still haunting pop culture, the fear-and-fascination combo thrives, much like true crime. Her favorite sharks? The lightning-fast, brainy makos—featured in her latest episode, “Biggest Mako on Earth.”
