Based on discoveries made from an active research grant, Gruber, colleagues, and students will develop multimedia deliverables that highlight the biofluorescence found in coral reefs. They include development of a multimedia exhibit containing interactive, inquiry-based modules and new videos developed off the Cayman Islands. These deliverables will share the beauty of coral reefs, the source of biofluorescence (fluorescent proteins), and the fundamental importance of coral reefs in shallow marine ecosystems. The STEM content of this project is drawn from the biological sciences, including specific topics such as marine biology, physiology, ecology, and conservation. The exhibit will reach diverse audiences at public aquaria and at the principal investigator's institution. Learning will be studied by an external evaluator through formative assessment. The new science discoveries and related STEM content about coral reef biofluorescence also will be communicated via a web site that enables access by informal learners online. This Communicating Research to Public Audiences project is based on research grant MCB-0920572: Isolation, characterization, and evolution of fluorescent proteins from Indo-Pacific and Caribbean marine organisms.

基于从一个积极的研究资助，格鲁伯，同事和学生的发现将开发多媒体交付，突出在珊瑚礁中发现的生物荧光。其中包括开发一个多媒体展览，其中包括互动式、基于调查的模块和在开曼群岛以外开发的新视频。这些交付品将分享珊瑚礁的美丽、生物荧光（荧光蛋白）的来源以及珊瑚礁在浅海生态系统中的根本重要性。该项目的STEM内容来自生物科学，包括海洋生物学，生理学，生态学和保护等特定主题。展览将在公共水族馆和主要研究者所在的机构面向不同的观众。学习情况将由外部评估员通过形成性评估进行研究。有关珊瑚礁生物荧光的新科学发现和相关STEM内容也将通过一个网站进行交流，使非正式学习者能够在线访问。该项目是基于研究资助MCB-0920572：从印度太平洋和加勒比海海洋生物中分离，表征和进化荧光蛋白。
