Like a kraken rising from the depths, Cephalopod Week is back!
The cephalopod celebration continues, with a look at technology inspired by the brainy creatures. Plus, researchers estimate that climate change effects could wipe out 39â59 percent of Ethiopian coffee farms in the future.
Why do we love cephalopods? They’re smart, cute, and…well…really weird.
Cephalopod Week kicks off with an octopus matchmaker and cephalopod defense moves. And how your mindset might change the way you metabolize a milkshake. And researchers look to a simple organism, the flatworm, to study how living in space might affect humans on a cellular level.

The fourth annual Cephalopod Week kicks off with a cephalopod matchmaker and a researcher studying octopus defenses.
Some researchers argue that we need more research on nearly every interaction people have with guns — including storage, training, theft, suicides, accidents, and so on. Plus, the amazing world of the octopus, and news from the week in science.
Ethologist Roger Hanlon has devoted a career to studying how octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish become inconspicuous.
Science Friday is kicking off Cephalopod Week with an evening of talk, tentacles, and merriment.
