The Smart Skin and Amazing Brains of the Octopus - Whatcom READS Online
With its unmatched camouflage and remarkably flexible soft body, the octopus has fascinated investigators since Aristotle.

Join Dr. David Gire, whose lab studies octopus species native to the Pacific Northwest, on an exploration of the neuroscience behind how octopuses think and behave. Registration required.
