For our last day of @scifri.bsky.social #cephalopodweek we are sharing our first page reveal for our book, Dreams of a Scientist: Lessons from the Sea.
#EduSky join @scifri.bsky.social today from 2-4 pm ET for these great science 🧪 stories. It's #CephalopodWeek so I'm looking forward to the story on octopus suckers 🐙, though honeybees 🐝 are a close second! Listen or learn more at www.sciencefriday.com
This #CephalopodWeek, dive in and join our Sea of Support! You can pick your favorite cephalopod, add your name, and help fuel cool projects like this one.
Hey #EduSky! New free @scifri.bsky.social educational activity for #CephalopodWeek. 🐙
For day 3 of @scifri.bsky.social #cephalopodweek we are featuring Horst Obenhaus, a friend and scientist studying octopus sleep at @mblscience.bsky.social!

For #cephalopodweek we are jumping into scientific paths, featuring @cephalopodanetwork.bsky.social and @bridgetsquidget.bsky.social
Remember it’s never too late to discover something new!

We kicked off @scifri.bsky.social #cephalopodweek yesterday with @invertebabe.bsky.social! We will be sharing ceph scientist stories all week, but first: who are our cephalopods, and why study them?
I'm Mar Clutch Junior wishing you a happy #CephalopodWeek from @scifri.bsky.social! What's your fancy cephalopod name?
Happy #CephalopodWeek! If you were a cephalopod, you’d deserve a fancy name.
Using your first initial, last initial, and favorite color, you can make one for yourself! 🐙
Share yours in the comments, and check out our cephalo-bration: buff.ly/mlzthqQ

🎉It’s #CephalopodWeek! Our annual celebration of all things octopus, squid, and cuttlefish 🐙🦑 To kick things off: A new study looks into how octopuses use the suckers on their arms to “taste” harmful microbes on surfaces they touch.

🎉 The most wonderful time of the year is near: #CephalopodWeek starts on Monday, September 8 ! 🐙🦑
To celebrate, we're releasing a special edition of the Educate newsletter packed full of ex-ceph-tional projects and activities for squids of all ages.

Hey, cephalo-fans! 🐙
It's official: #CephalopodWeek is swimming into *fall* this year. Raise your tentacles to a new season of octopuses, squid, and exciting SciFri stories and programs. We'll sea you soon, and in the meantime, dive into our archive of cephalo-content: buff.ly/O2twuYF
#cephalopodawareness October 8 to 12 but there are OTHERS
I think #cephalopodweek is in June? but depends on who..

Last week was #CephalopodWeek, our annual celebration of all things octopus, squid, and cuttlefish 🐙🦑
In today's episode, we feature two stories about new discoveries in the cephalopod family.

I heard it is #CephalopodWeek

I keep thinking I have posted all my cephalopod paraphernalia for #CephalopodWeek but then I remember more.
I'm catching up on #CephalopodWeek content (since I didn't have much online time this week) and this ink-terview is FASCINATING! I did not know about pygmy sperm whale ink 🤯 nor that melanin binds to heavy metals so ink helps remove toxins! 🦑🧪

It’s still #CephalopodWeek !

Daughter of the Kraken, Asha/Yara of House Greyjoy. Painted with watercolor, ink & coffee. I screen printed the background wave design with silver ink onto watercolor.
I made this piece a few years ago for the Game of Thrones art show at LTD Gallery, presented by GRRM himself.

To finish up our celebration of #CephalopodWeek we wanted to share a bit of squid news.
Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute deep-sea biologist Bruce Robison joins us to talk about a potentially new squid species.
I finally did the cephalopod quiz before the end of #CephalopodWeek, and I got the Strawberry Squid! 🍓🦑

Two Palau Nautiluses (Nautilus belauensi) floatinjg in the ocean, face to face. They both have white spiral shells with brown stripes, a triangle shaped hood above its head that has a brown area with white spots, and many small appendages called cirri. Their eyes are simple pinhole type eye that a small circular opening with a vertical slit below it.
A very tiny and cute nautilus hatchling. It looks like an adult nautilus with softer colours and shrunk down to 3-4 centimetres in length. Its spiral shell is mostly a soft orange with white patches and ridges. Its hood is bumpy, as its orange and white. Its eye is slightly translucent and mostly black with orange around the edge.
Chambered nautilus (Nautilus pompilius) (left) swimming next to a Fuzzy nautilus (Allonautilus scrobiculatus) (right). The chambered nautilus has a white spiral shell with orange stripes at the top, a triangle shaped hood above its head that has a brown area with white spots, and many small appendages called cirri. Its eye is simple pinhole type eye that a small circular opening with a vertical slit below it. The fuzzy nautilus looks very similar to the chambered nautilus, except the hood is smaller and curved downward, and its shell is mostly covered in a yellow fuzz called a periostracum.
A pair of Chambered nautiluses (Nautilus pompilius) feeding on two-spot red snapper (Lutjanus bohar) bait during daytime at 703 m (2,306 ft) depth. One is gripping the fish with its cirri while the other floats nearby.
Nautiluses (family Nautilidae) are the only living cephalopods with an external shell. Nautiloids diverge from the rest of the cephalopods around 420 million years ago, which is why they are so different compared to other living cephalopods.

STEM Educators join Science Friday today from 2-4 pm for a great show with lots of stories to share with learners! I can't wait to learn about the discovery of a new squid species as we wrap up #CephalopodWeek! Learn more or listen at sciencefriday.com

#CephalopodWeek how about a nautilus up in here?

Guess I can't let #CephalopodWeek 2024 end without re-posting this guy. A giant squid with a special pearl figures into the WIP that I can't quite seem to finish up but if I ever do, at least I have one of the illustrations done already! 😂 #art
