Overview
Dr. Edith Widder is an American oceanographer, marine biologist, and the co-founder, CEO, and Senior Scientist at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association. A specialist in bioluminescence, Dr. Widder was behind the pioneering technology that first lured the giant squid into the view of our cameras in 2012. She has been a leader in helping to design and invent new instrumentation and techniques that enable scientists to see the ocean in new ways. Using her groundbreaking “e-jelly,” we captured some of the stunning “squid fight” footage that appeared in Blue Planet II.
