The Aquarium Lecture Series is presented free to the public through the generosity of the Lowell Institute, which has been providing funding for free public lectures at universities and museums since 1836.

Meet Dr. Crissy Huffard, cephalopod biologist.

Octopuses are well known for their ability to change their shape and color in the blink of an eye.

More than 300 species of octopus inhabit the intertidal to the deep sea, ranging in size from smaller than a grape to an arm span of over 15 feet.

Join cephalopod biologist Dr. Crissy Huffard as she discusses her research on how wild octopuses move, learn, survive, reproduce and evolve.

She will also discuss the scientific evidence, or lack thereof, behind popular ideas and myths about these fascinating animals.

Not to be missed for a fan of the octopus!
