Presented by Melissa Silva
Few natural phenomena feel as magical as bioluminescence—the ability of living organisms to glow in the dark. Mexico Expedition Leader Melissa Silva explores the fascinating world of bioluminescence, from glowing jellyfish to shimmering deep-sea fish, flashing fireflies and luminous fungi. Learn how organisms produce their own light, why this adaptation is so important for survival—especially in the ocean—and how bioluminescence differs from fluorescence. Melissa also highlights the surprising ways this natural phenomenon has inspired advances in human medicine and scientific research.
