Yep, I think it's dark enough when the room lights go out!

Moto opens his eyes wide to get a better view of his surroundings when the room lights turn off for the night.

First time trying to implant two electrodes. Saw nothing on the recordings and thought I had messed up the surgery.  I went to let off steam with a quick bike ride to Falmouth,  came back, re-soldered the crab - and: Yeah, baby! Beautiful pyloric rhythm on both electrodes, and I can even monitor some gastric activity! Tomrrow's plan: Messing with temperature.

What is Kamran doing on a poster at Falmouth pharmacy???

Meet Hippo

This is Hippo (as in "hungry, hungry"). He eats every single day. I think his schedule is different from the others since he's always wide awake and ready to snag that shrimp as soon as it touches the gravel. Hippo, however, is not enjoying my company. This is his "stop looking at me--don't you know I'm invisible" face. 

Yo! Where my cuttles at?!

Is the room warmer or is the water colder?! Either way this is no way to get good video recordings!  Is that you Moto?

Grass seminar with Rodolfo Llinás

"Interaction with the world around us is limited to activating motor neurons and secretion, that's it. Basically, we can move and drool."

Teresa, what are you doing with that knife?!

Oh, just cutting the plate I see!

Tickling the Devil's toes at Devil's foot island
Ben and Marie!
                                               
 Baby cuttles are hatching!!!
                                                           

Look at its tiny little face!!!
                                                           
Marie the amazing dissectionist

Marie got the first recording! So jealous!

Had to put up a curtain so this cuttle would stop hating on me every time I walked by. Look at him. Such a hater.
I don't know what this means in cuttle-speak, but I think I get the idea. I love you too, buddy!
