From the Ted Talk by Edith Widder: How we found the giant squid

Unscramble the Blue Letters


I gave a talk on unobtrusive viewing and optical luring of deep sea squid in which I emphasized the importance of using quiet, unobtrusive parflotms for exploration. This came out of hundreds of deivs I have made, farting around in the dark using these platforms, and my impression that I saw more aanlmis working from the submersible than I did with either of the remote-operated vehicles. But that could just be because the submersible has a wider field of view. But I also felt like I saw more animals winrkog with the Tiburon than the Ventana, two vceehlis with the same field of view but different pliorsuopn systems.
