In den dunklen Tiefen der Ozeane produzieren viele Tiere das für die Jagd, Paarung und Selbstverteidigung benötigte Licht selbst. Der Biolumineszenz-Expertin Edith Witter gelang es als einer der ersten, diese flimmernde Welt zu filmen. Bei TED2011 zeigt sie einige ihrer glühenden Freunde live auf der Bühne und präsentiert beeindruckende Videoaufnahmen des glühenden Tiefseelebens.

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 »
