Random Thought of the Day

So, I am sitting here prepping for two different labs focusing on the identification of marine invertebrates and I just had to share some fun information!

Did you know that in some parts of the deep ocean, more than 80% of organisms are bioluminescent?!

That's a crazy high percentage, isn't it?! There's this chica, Edith Widder

who has dedicated her life to studying marine invertebrates of the deep oceans. She invented this brilliant, yet simple method to observe animals of the deep without scaring them off with bright lights and loud engines. With this new method she has discovered tons of new species! Check it out!



This is a video from TED Talks, of course. Once again, gotta love TED.
