When a captive Giant Pacific Octopus named Athena stretched her suckered arm out to greet best selling author Sy Montgomery, she changed the world. Her welcome lead to four books with that author, one of them a National Book Award finalist, the founding of the world's largest octopus fan club with over one million followers, award-winning TV movies, bestselling novels--and a golden age of octopus research and appreciation, transforming our view of these intelligent cephalopods from monsters to superheroes.
Join Sy and OctoNation founder Warren Carlyle, co-authors of National Geographic's recent SECRETS OF THE OCTOPUS, for a deep dive into how octopuses have changed both science and culture, and how exciting new findings reveal these mollusks as far more varied, emotional, and socially complex than previously imagined.
