Jason over at Cephalopodcast has generously donated a copy of The Bioluminescence Coloring Book (with glow-in-the-dark paint!) and the video Marine Bioluminescence: Secret Lights in the Sea to give away for donors. This means the person who gives the largest donation and two random donors will receive gifts. Again the list of current swag is
- Monterey Bay Aquarium T-Shirt, Socks, Hat, or other such thing
- A vial of mud from the ocean floor at 3500m with a framed map and certificate of authenticity.
- The Bioluminescence Coloring Book (with glow-in-the-dark paint!) and the video Marine Bioluminescence: Secret Lights in the Sea

Thanks. The credit really belongs to Cindy Renkas from NOAA. I attended a teacher workshop with her recently. She included the book and video in the class materials. But when I got back to work I realized they were duplicates of material we already have in our library.
These teacher workshops are great by-the-way, and I recommend any science teachers look into attending. There are several still scheduled around the U.S. Introduces the vast amount of material and lesson plans that NOAA makes available for free.
