Aw thanks! I had a lot of fun, I’m glad it inspired you to pick up the book! (What is your local bookstore? I’ll see if they want to become a SciFri Book Club partner!)

Cephalopod Week begins tomorrow! It's a 8-day celebration of goopy goodness. Science Friday asked me to update their fundraiser badges, check them out in their natural habitat, SciFri's Sea of Support: apps.sciencefriday.com/sea-of-suppo...www.sciencefriday.com/spotlights/c...

ornate cephalopod illustrations with circular backgrounds. the species are giant pacific octopus, which is a very normal looking octopus, blob octopus, which is an octopus with rather stout and blobby body, strawberry squid, a squid red as strawberry but one of its eye is much bigger than the other, and bigfin squid, a squid with jumbo fins and obnoxiously long limbs.
ornate cephalopod illustrations with circular backgrounds. the species are nautilus, flapjack octopus, which is an octopus that looks like it's melting to the ground, blanket octopus, an octopus with blanket or flag-like limbs, and vampire squid, a squid with webbed arms. and one long filamentous tentacle.

That'd be amazing, thanks so much! (and yes, great comic!)

Truly the biggest mistake in teuthology history that they ended up going with "californiana" for its official species name -- but they'll always be adorabilis in my heart! ❤️🐙

Hi Danny! Thanks for the offer. That’s the plan, and we’re hoping to develop something like that (or ask participants to post their data on iNaturalist) in partnership with an org/PI who can use that data as part of their research. Exciting opportunities! I’ll make sure to keep you in the loop
