Widder and her colleagues therefore fitted Medusa with an electronic device that mimicked the bioluminescence that jellyfish produce when attacked to serve as a lure. It worked: Medusa first encountered a squid during its second deployment, igniting jubilation on the ship. “I just was blown away,” says Widder,” I couldn’t have been happier.”

I'm a sucker for anything related to giant squids. It's either because i watched that Disney version of 20,000 Leagues a hundred times, or i listened to that Ween album 500 times.
