RL/SL Connections: The Abyss Museum of Ocean Science
Our brown bag event this week continues our Real Life / Second Life Connections series with a trip to the Abyss Museum of Ocean Science. This week is the one year anniversary of the opening of the Abyss, with celebration and events and the opening of new underwater tunnels for people to view the exhibits. The Abyss was created as a collaboration of Rezago Kokorin & Sunn Thunders. Selected information is made available by the MarineBio Society as a marine conservation education and outreach effort. As part of their educational efforts, you may find such information on such topics as "Ocean Dumping", "What is a Hydrothermal Vent?", "What are Radiolaria?" and many artworks and videos related to marine ecology. More information is available at their blog:
