Summary

Why is the ocean full of moon jellies? How do snails use fishing nets made of slime? What’s actually happening when a mosquito sucks your blood? These are just some of the questions that the producers and scientists behind “Deep Look,” KQED’s Emmy-award winning video series, take on. Now in its 11th season, “Deep Look,” uses ultra-high definition video to give viewers an up close – and sometimes microscopic look – at the insects, animals and plants that we can find around us. We’ll talk to the team behind the show, and hear from you: what’s something in the natural world that you’ve given a deeper look, and how did that make you feel? Guests: Damon Tighe, biotech educator and naturalist Sarah Cohen, professor of biology, San Francisco State's Estuary & Ocean Science Center Gabriela Quirós, supervising producer for Deep Look, KQED Josh Cassidy, lead producer and cinematographer for Deep Look, KQED Learn more about your ad choices.
