A paper said dynamic skin patterns in cephalopods had parallels to the pixels on a television screen. The other flim flam I have to debunk is our octopus in squid, possibly alien DNA. And that's why they're so cool. Let's talk about that one. So here's what happened. There's a lot of weird cool stuff in that genome. It's like it's an alien. Like alien squid did not come from space.
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.
