Besides all their exotic fish, underwater explorer Dr. Robert Ballard’s team’s findings are on view, including the Titanic at 12,450’ below.
Walk through the Fluorescent Coral exhibit and find out how fluorescence is being used for research projects to find cures and treatments for Alzheimer’s and cancer.
