Science at FMNH : Ep. 25 - Exploring Unknown Deep Sea Ecosystems

Discovery reigns supreme in the deep sea, as we know less about it and the animals that live there than we do about the dark side of the moon.  Janet's work is building the framework that offers to change that situation.  This framework is based on specimens collected at sea and available for study at The Field Museum.
