About the event

What is it that makes certain organisms glow? How does biofluorescence differ from bioluminescence and phosphorescence? Explore the diverse ecosystems of Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Ecuador, and the UK to uncover the hidden fluorescent wonders of the natural world. 

Learn about the ecological roles of biofluorescence, from attracting mates to deterring predators, and discover its cutting-edge applications in conservation and ecosystem monitoring.

David, who has researched Biofluorescence throughout the world, will walk us through what incredible biofluorescence can be found right here in Suffolk, how to see it and where to look. Be prepared to feel a sense of amazement at the natural world around us.
