@scifri.bsky.socialFrom their three hearts to their doughnut-shaped brains, octopuses are fascinating creatures that are also biologically wired to die after they reproduce. We spoke with cephalopod expert Z. Yan Wang to learn more about octopus death spirals and to answer listener questions for Cephalopod Week!

@scifri.bsky.socialCephalopods are having a Hollywood glow-up. 🎬🐙 From monsters to villains to teachers, their on-screen roles have been changing as people understand them more.
@scifri.bsky.socialWe did film the whole interview so you can watch this special episode on our YouTube or website. www.sciencefriday.com/segments/how...
@scifri.bsky.socialDavid Byrne is no stranger to bringing extraordinary ideas to life. But what about ideas that are ahead of their time? How do we reawaken them? Flora chatted with David about his new book “Sleeping Beauties: Why Good Ideas Go Dormant and How They Wake Up,” and which ideas resonated with him most.
@scifri.bsky.socialWe’ll be chatting with marine biologist Dr. Gregory Barord, Director of Science and Outreach for Save the Nautilus, and answering questions from the chat.

@scifri.bsky.socialPeople have claimed the nautilus shell is an example of the golden ratio, but is that true? The golden ratio is a number associated with spirals, art, architecture, and patterns in nature. So Christopher Bartlett, an art professor from Towson University, put the nautilus shell to the test.
@scifri.bsky.socialIt’s Cephalopod Week! All week long we’ll be celebrating our favorite cephalopods with stories, games, educational activities, virtual events, and lots more! Dive in on our website at sciencefriday.com/cephalopodweek.
