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.

基于从积极的研究赠款中获得的发现，Gruber，同事和学生将开发多媒体可交付成果，以突出珊瑚礁中发现的生物荧光。其中包括开发包含互动性，基于询问的模块的多媒体展览和开发开曼群岛的新视频。这些可交付成果将共享珊瑚礁的美丽，生物荧光的来源（荧光蛋白）以及浅海生态系统中珊瑚礁的基本重要性。该项目的茎含量是从生物科学中得出的，包括海洋生物学，生理学，生态学和保护等特定主题。该展览将吸引公共水族馆和主要调查员机构的不同受众。外部评估者将通过形成性评估来研究学习。还将通过网站传达有关珊瑚礁生物荧光的新科学发现及相关的STEM内容，该网站可以在线非正式学习者访问。这项向公众观众项目进行的沟通研究基于研究赠款MCB-0920572：从印度太平洋和加勒比海生物体中荧光蛋白的隔离，表征和演变。
