Solarpunk Presents Podcast<p>Season 1 Episode 9: Bioluminescence: The Soft Glow of the Deep Sea, With Dr Steve Haddock</p><p>[Technically this was episode 7 and <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://wandering.shop/@arielkroon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>arielkroon</span></a></span> messed up her numbering, but we're going to pretend that didn't happen]</p><p>ou don't have to be a solarpunk—or a lunarpunk—to dream of bioluminescence, from twinkling phytoplankton to glowing lamps, phosphorescent fungi, and jellyfish lit up like space ships. To honor those dreams, Christina talked to Dr. Steve Haddock, Senior Scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and leading expert on the things that glow, flash, and train headlights through the dark waters of the deep sea. Join us for this conversation about how bioluminescence works, what critters are capable of it and what they use it for, and whether or not our visions of bioluminescent street lamps stand a chance of coming true.</p><p>You can also follow Steve Haddock on X @beroe and learn more about bioluminescence at <a href="https://biolum.eemb.ucsb.edu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">biolum.eemb.ucsb.edu/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/cAGj0kFd41c?si=YwoexCty7bbSoTkA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/cAGj0kFd41c?si=YwoexC</span><span class="invisible">ty7bbSoTkA</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Episode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Episode</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Season1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Season1</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YouTube</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SolarpunkPresentsPodcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarpunkPresentsPodcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>podcast</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/bioluminescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bioluminescence</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MBARI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MBARI</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/OceanScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OceanScience</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/lunarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lunarpunk</span></a></p>
