Food for Thought: All About Octopuses with Jack Dubinsky

Octopuses are complicated and largely misunderstood creatures with their strong gelatinous bodies, color-changing skin, decentralized intelligence system, and keen problem-solving skills. In this talk, Dubinsky will discuss the unique biology of octopuses, with a focus on examining some of the common myths about these peculiar cephalopods. He will also share some of his favorite stories from raising Cthulhu, the Maria Mitchell Association’s mischievous octopus.

In partnership with Maria Mitchell Association and the Nantucket Atheneum’s One Book One Island book selection: The Soul of the Octopus.
