Join us for an exclusive reading by Edie Widder, with an introduction by WHOI marine biologist Larry Madin, and on-stage interview by WHOI Vice President for Advancement, Sam Harp.

Below the Edge of Darkness takes readers deep into our planet’s oceans as Dr. Widder pursues questions about one of the most important and widely used forms of communication in nature: bioluminescence. 

In the process, she reveals hidden worlds and a dazzling menagerie of behaviors and animals, from microbes to leviathans, many never before seen or, like the legendary giant squid, never before filmed in their deep-sea lairs. Alongside Widder, we experience life-and-death equipment malfunctions and witness breakthroughs in technology and understanding, all set against a growing awareness of the deteriorating health of our largest and least understood ecosystem.

This in-person event is part of our DISPATCHES FROM AN OCEAN PLANET summer series presented by the Yawkey Foundation in collaboration with Falmouth Public Library.

You are invited to a reading and conversation with author and pioneering ocean explorer Dr. Edie Widder, introduced by WHOI marine biologist Larry Madin and interviewed by WHOI Vice President for Advancement, Sam Harp.

The interview will be followed by a special reception at the Ocean Science and Discovery Center at 93 Water Street, Woods Hole.
