Bioluminescence in Art and Science with Edie Widder

Dr. Edie Widder spoke at the National Museum of Natural History as a part of the Changing Tides Lecture Series and discussed her work on underwater light: light chemically produced by animals through a process called bioluminescence. The beauty of light-producing animals intersects with light art in Dr. Widder's talk. Read more about her work diving and observing deep-sea bioluminescence, and see other Changing Tides lectures.
