    JAWS & Shark Science: A 50th Anniversary Celebration

    Sulzer Regional Branch Chicago Public Library 4445 North Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL, United States

    ISC is hosting a full-length screening of the iconic film "JAWS" with a very special science feature -- a Q&A discussion with two shark researchers who will tell you about their real-world research and answer all your questions!

    You will get a new perspective on the movie from shark biologists who are big fans of the film. They will delve into the background of the book and film, fun facts and anecdotes from the making of the movie, its impacts on sharks and society (both good and bad), and the scientific accuracy of various elements of the film.

    A great opportunity to let yourself get scared and then get curious to learn about shark science!
