Why the 50th Anniversary of Jaws Still Matters for Shark Science

The movie Jaws terrified audiences and demonized great white sharks, but it also inspired a generation of shark researchers and boosted funding for marine science. In this special anniversary episode of Beyond Jaws, co-hosts Andrew Lewin and Dr. David Ebert revisit the legacy of Jaws 50 years later. They speak with leading shark researchers—Lisa Natanson, Greg Skomal, and Chris Lowe, about how the film influenced their careers and the public’s relationship with sharks.

Shark science owes more to Jaws than you might think. This episode dives into the personal stories of scientists from the original “Jaws Generation,” exploring how a horror film launched scientific careers, sparked public interest, and led to groundbreaking research on great whites. Whether you love or loathe the movie, its influence on conservation and marine biology is undeniable.
