Closing Out the Cephaloparty
16:47 minutes
After eight days of tentacled fun, it’s time to bring the cephaloparty to a close. For the final day of Cephalopod Week, SciFri’s engagement manager, Brandon Echter, describes the selfielopods, videos, and other activities from the week-long celebration. And video collaborator Christian Baker takes us into a lab that’s investigating the murky uses of deep-sea squid ink, while biologist Sarah McAnulty talks about the microbiome of the Hawaiian bobtail squid.
