Before delving into the study, the Washington Post provided a brief introduction on Whitenack, noting that the biologist"loved sharks as a kid" and watched"Shark Week" every summer. However, the piece stated,"when the scientists appeared on her TV screen, she rarely saw any women she could look up to."
