This Zoom webinar featuring Marine Biologist Stephanie Bush aired June 9, 2021, as part of the "Smithsonian Science How" series and the museum's celebration of World Ocean Day, which focused on "Hope Spots," places that are critical to the health of our ocean around the globe. Watch a recording in the player above.
Description
Meet the Smithsonian's Dr. Stephanie Bush, who re-discovered a previously unknown deep-sea octopod so adorable that she's naming it "adorabilis." Stephanie will introduce us to "adorabilis" and the team of remotely operated vehicle (ROV) pilots, ship crew, and other scientists who made the discovery possible — and the husbandry and aquarium experts who keep the specimens alive. Stephanie will also help us understand the hopeful work of discovering new species and biodiversity in the deep sea.
