TED: Ideas worth spreading - today, Oceanographer - David Gallo

This is well worth a dive in (as you will see).



Whilst I've known about TED (no, not Father Ted which I'll cover in due course) for 9 months or so, I remain amazed as the the utterly diverse content/output of the TED Annual Conference's in Monterey, California.

TED = Technology, Entertainment, Design "is an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration". If you've never seen the TED website before, you MUST go and check it out.



Early this morning, I watched this amazing (short in TED terms) presentation by Oceanographer, David Gallo.

About this Talk

David Gallo shows jaw-dropping footage of amazing sea creatures, including a shape-shifting cuttlefish, a pair of fighting squid, and a mesmerizing gallery of bioluminescent fish that light up the blackest depths of the ocean. He focuses on the work of two scientists: Edith Widder at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association, and Roger Hanlon at the Marine Biological Lab.

THE FILE CONTAINS SUBTITLES SO THAT'S GREAT FOR NON HEARING VIEWERS.
