  • Stories of WiN: Profile by Megan Kirchgessner (thank you Megan!)
  • Science Friday: Cephalopod week
  • National Geographic Magazine: See why octopuses may be the ultimate sacrificing moms

and finally, most excitingly, most importantly–the lab officially opened! A big welcome to our first members, Stephanie, Angelyiah, Michael, and Sal. Thank you all for making this journey bright, I am so looking forward to learning and growing with you all.
