@cephCIAC CIAC Honorary Lifetime Membership Award for outstanding long-term achievements to cephalopod science goes to Dr Mike Vecchione. So very well deserved!! #CIAC2018
Lifetime achievement award for Mike Vecchione at #CIAC2018. The cephalopod voice of #okeanos and mentor of so many of us. Couldn’t have a more popular choice!
@SarahMackAttack investigates how the luminescent bacterium Vibrio (now Aliivibrio?) fischeri may have long-term effects on the immune system of its 'bobtail' squid host (Euprymna scolopes). So cool! #CIAC2018#CIAC_2018
Gretta Pecl @GrettaPecl is studying shifts in squid populations. This is super important for food security, livelihoods of people up and down coastlines and ecosystem shifts!

Alexandra Lischka from @ALCESonline talking about metals in the arrow squid in particular cadmium. This is important as arrow squids are an important source of food for many animals and even “make up 98% of the diet of pilot whales”. #ciac2018
@1ngerW reviews the low mitochondrial diversity in giant squid, showing that it's all one species worldwide (Architeuthis dux). Only basking sharks are known to have lower mito diversity! #CIAC2018#CIAC_2018
At @CIAC_2018 conference with Louise Allcock and Graham Pierce to share cephalopod research and promote @CephsAndChefs. If you are interested in sustainable fisheries and seafood, check out the project.

1. #CIAC2018 people: yesterday I just went crazy explaining 3 posters (which was really exciting experience!), so I didn´t have time to see many posters I was interested. If you don´t mind to share it on the internet, would be a nice idea to share them as I did. Please RT
