Virtual BIOCOMM 2021 - Staying Connected
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic BIOCOMM will become a year of virtual events. Monthly Zoom sessions of workshops, plenary presentations, Infoshare and our annual Business Meeting and Town Hall meetings will be spread throughout 2021. Virtual BIOCOMM 2021 gives us an opportunity to stay connected while continuing to learn and network.
Documenting Biofluorescence in Marine Animals
Join us on August 24th for a presentation by Connie Johansen about photographing biofluorescence in marine animals. You may have seen or heard about Bioluminescence in ocean creatures where marine organisms glow in the dark when disturbed. Other marine animals can make and exhibit neon colors when exposed to a light with a specific wavelength. Learn how to document this biofluorescence underwater or in tanks.
