Glow-in-the-dark sharks and other stunning sea creatures | David Gruber

[@eviehammond9509]

There's something about listening to someone who is genuinely passionate about they do that has an added draw to pull your attention toward them. We all should be so lucky to experience this passion if only once, in our lifetime. Its not like the subject of this video needed any extra attraction, as its amazing just as a topic but you can tell the person that's narrating it sincerely loves what he does. ❤❤

[@laratatouille6364]

M. DAVID GRUBER is pretty good at stealing other scientists' works published in other countries. Talk about passion & *_sincerity._* As a marine biochemist I am digging. Then I will call my lawyer.

This was an amazing presentation. He completely brought it back around to the human experience and made it so clear. The ocean is like a giant brain. There are organisms flashing lights, making connections, keeping the world going as much as it can. The fact that these creatures use light to seemingly show themselves and possibly communicate through light is amazing.

[@BavonWW]

I'm humbled. But, I'm also inspired. I grew up with coral reefs at the bottom of my garden. I relive every moment of my life during which I swam and walked on the beautiful reef. Sixty years ago I was often alone on miles of silver sand, and turquoise sea. Even at that time a Japanese 'research vessel' would occasionally chug along the near shore until my father and others became suspicious. Covert observation by scuba divers revealed the vessel sucking up swathes of reef floor to harvest sea slugs specifically for gastronomic inspection. Even then, men were beginning the destruction of marine eco-systems. This video was both fascinating yet sad at the same time, because the speaker constantly referred to the possible extinction of species and habitats. Stop now. Fight now. Educate now.

[@chriss4242]

That was amazing! Very well done and so informative. Now we need to re-research everything we thought we knew about aquatic life because this is hugh. This can even help (perhaps) with limiting shark attacks if they see certain colors and avoid those and we use that as our swimsuits. Who knows. Marine biology is such a fun and fascinating thing. I love it.

[@SolidSiren]

Many scientists have studied and recorded fluorescence in marine animals prior to him. Bioluminescence and fluorescence have been extensively studied. More recently, fluorescence has been described by others, and using fluorescent proteins as biomarkers has been the standard for awhile now.

I've been interested in animals my whole life when I found out about this it blew my mind. There is so much we don't understand because we study things in relation to humans (i.e. how humans see) not how the thing we're studying relates to its world.

[@rawstarmusic]

We are slowly getting out of our senses limitations. What we learn can produce new ways of thinking and conclusions. Seeing the brain at work and have a fast computer look at it could be revealing on how we work and how to enhance us to become super.

[@donhoneywill5060]

There are many places on the coast of British Columbia when everything that's needed is there to make things like this happen. You can dive into the ocean and from the surface the diver looks like Tinker Belle with a trail of glowing particles behind you. It's especially fun to watch the look on the faces of those who are experiencing it for the first time. I still after seeing it many times have the same look as those who are seeing for the first time.
