“William Beebe's book, Half Mile Down, with its poetic descriptions of bioluminescence – the flash, sparkle, and glow of living creatures in the deep sea- mesmerized me as a child and set me on a path of exploring the great depths that continues to the present – and into future! https://t.co/hi64eztILp” (from X)
