In de diepe en donkere oceanen maken vele zeedieren hun eigen licht voor de jacht, voortplanting en zelfverdediging. Bioluminescentie-deskundige Edith Widder was een van de eersten om deze glimmende wereld te filmen. Op TED2011, brengt zij een aantal van haar flikkerende vrienden op het podium, en toont verbazingwekkende beelden van dit oplichtende onderzeese leven.

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 »
