Etwa 80 bis 90 Prozent der Lebewesen im Meer produzieren Licht - und wir wissen sehr wenig darüber warum und wie. Die Biolumineszenz-Expertin Edith Widder erforscht diese glühende, funkelnde, leuchtende Welt und zeigt prächtige Bilder und Einsichten von noch nie gesehenen Tiefen (und leuchtenden Orten) im Ozean.

Edith Widder combines her expertise in research and technological innovation with a commitment to stopping and reversing the degradation of our marine environment. Full bio »
