COSEE-West will present a free K-12 educators’ workshop entitled A New Look at the Deep Sea at the University of Southern California, which features a content lecture by Dr. Edith (Edie) Widder, President and Chief Scientist of Ocean Research and Conservation Association (ORCA) and hands-on, inquiry-based, integrative classroom activities correlated with California Content Standards.

Dr. Widder is a biologist, deep-sea explorer, and co-founder of ORCA, dedicated to the study and protection of marine ecosystems and the organisms that live within them, through development of innovative technologies and science-based conservation action. She will talk about her research and the strange creatures that she studies in the deep sea, and along with Cosee-West staff will present activities related to biolouminescence and deep sea adaptations.
