In crue, we've got multiple layers of cephalopods skin. On the bottom base layer, there's this really, really white cell type called leukophores. And these cells never change color. It's just whatever color you shoot on them is the color that they give back to you. There are grants working to study this to make e-readers better so that the back of the page is the whitest version.
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.
