Blind sea creature hunts with a light
The deep sea is a seriously dark place, so when a light shows up, even a tiny one, fish will swim up for a closer look. That seems to be the strategy behind the glowing red spots used by a relative of the jellyfish, called Erenna. Scientists have just discovered that these creatures have glowing red dots in their tentacles, which are probably used to lure fishy prey.

Conversely, Team USA, composed of the most individually talented players in the world, failed to win gold in the 2004 Olympics. How could this happen? Paul Bessire, a graduate student in UC's College of Business, thinks he has the answers.
