There's not enough government money to fund people studying cephalopods. Nautilids are in bad shape right now because we keep collecting them for their shells. Cuddlefish look like just tiny fully formed cuddlefish, which are so cute that it hurts a little bit. And they don't produce as much as many offspring per Nautilus as the squid do.
Squids. Cuttlefish. Octopusseseses. The world's most impassioned squid nerd, Sarah McAnulty, gets locked in a basement with Alie to talk about cephalopods, alien DNA, camouflage, invisibility cloaks, why cute things make us insane, terrible mating strategies, cute and clever ones and why she is so charmed by squid. Also addressed: Philly accents and the Kraken.
