Hamish Jolly: A shark-deterrent wetsuit (and it's not what you think)

The video discusses the increasing problem of shark attacks and explores a scientific approach to mitigate them. Inspired by anecdotal evidence and biological patterns, a collaboration with the University of Western Australia led to the development of wetsuits designed to reduce shark attacks. These wetsuits use patterns that either hide the wearer or disrupt their profile, based on sharks' black and white vision. Testing showed promising results, suggesting that science can translate existing biological and human anecdotes into practical solutions.
