The cold, dark waters of the deep ocean are teeming with creatures that live without light or oxygen. How do they do it? 

On this episode, we sit down with deep-sea biologist Annie Lindgren, PhD, who is the Director of the Center for Life in Extreme Environments at Portland State University. She studies cephalopods off the coast of Oregon, who live half a mile below the ocean’s surface. Who are these fascinating animals? And what can they teach us humans about adaptation as our climate changes?
