Postcards from the Deep™
Hey kids,
Jake, the SeaDog here. Our friend and deep sea explorer, Dr. Tammy Frank, has begun sending us postcards from her latest deep sea research expedition. Her current trip is with WhaleTimes friend (and amazing scientist) Edith Widder and other scientists to study *bioluminescent creatures (*creatures that glow...think of a firefly only waaaaayyyy cooler!) And Tammy's sharing what she's seeing, doing and discovering with us!
