Reef Chat: Deep-Sea Baby Creatures

SOA Deep-Sea Academy: https://www.soalliance.org/soablog/ds... Reef Chat is meant to be a relaxed, creative monthly conversation series designed to explore the mysteries and realities of the deep sea through the combined lens of art and science. Each session brings together one artist and one topic expert to spark an engaging, informal conversation around a specific theme. Lara Maleen Beckmann @planulara is a marine biologist and PhD researcher at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, where she studies the biodiversity and life strategies of deep-sea corals and sponges. Her work combines fieldwork, museum collections, microscopy, and video analysis to uncover the unknown biology of these organisms and explore the hidden ways they reproduce, care for their young, and survive in the deep ocean. Co-founder of the Unseen Ocean Collective @unseenoceancollective, Lara brings deep-sea science to life through collaborations with artists and public outreach events. By combining science and creativity, she aims to share the wonder, beauty, and ecological importance of the ocean with a wider audience.

Before graduate school, Dexter was a research technician in a deep-sea and nearshore larval biology lab (@larvallab) studying larval dispersion, settlement cues and symbiont acquisition in chemosynthetic habitats (hydrothermal vents / methane seeps). While spending hundreds of hours sorting plankton samples under the microscope at sea and on shore, he became inspired by the unique forms of marine invertebrate larvae with their diverse shapes, textures, and colors. He uses his art to spread awareness of unique marine habitats, showcasing fauna that many people have never seen before, with the goal of educating people about and protecting these fragile ecosystems.
