The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBRI) is known as a well-respected, top-notch facility, a leader in the world of research and discovery. And they are very generous with their work – check out this series, titled “Mysteries of the Deep”! Free and easily accessed on youtube, the series is a set of live chats with brilliant scientists about their deep-sea work. You can find the whole series HERE.
