Let's face it: Octopuses are COOL. That's why I love what I do. They are intelligent, adaptable, and can do things like change color, fit through openings smaller than their bodies and so much more. Still, we know relatively little about them. I am working to understand more about these incredible creatures - how they are put together, and how that relates to other animals (including us).
