Meet the scientists of the Museum and learn about our research!

 

In this series of four seminars researchers at the department for Natural History at The University Museum of Bergen (University of Bergen), will talk about the wonders and secretes of marine life in Norway and beyond. Come and join us in this unique journey through some of the most fascinating and exquisite groups of marine organisms in our oceans and find out more about their ecology, evolution, and adaptations.

Jellyfish are a fascinating group of beautiful animals that most people know relatively little about. In this talk, we’ll explore the diversity of jellyfish found in Norwegian waters. Can you guess how many species of jellyfish are there in Norway? Do they all sting, and should you be worried about them? Come find out!
