"Living Light: The Secrets of Nature's Glow" — A Lecture by Biology Communicator Vasya Granat

Why do some organisms glow in the dark while others don't? What do fireflies, fungi, fish, and even some jellyfish have in common? This lecture is a fascinating journey into the world of natural light.

We'll explore how and why living organisms produce light, the difference between fluorescence and bioluminescence, and why corals glow under ultraviolet light.

You'll learn:

• how "cold light" is produced without generating heat;
• how light helps living creatures survive in the dark, hunt, and defend themselves;
• how discoveries inspired by glowing organisms are advancing medicine and technology.

This lecture is perfect for anyone who loves science, nature, and a little bit of magic. Come with your children, friends, or on your own—it's going to be a beautiful experience.
