I'm a squid biologist on a mission. To teach everyone about squid.
Even you.
Especially you.
Want squid facts? I have you covered. I have a squid facts hotline, 1-833-SCI-TEXT. Text SQUID to that number (1-833-724-8398), and it'll send you squid facts aplenty.
I have even created an advent calendar for you to learn squid facts throughout December. It's an 11 by 14 inch scratchy lottery, but instead of taking a chance at winning money, you are guaranteed to learn about squid.
I have a street art campaign to bring squid facts to the people. You might see wheatpastes (like the squid below) if you live in Philly, Boston, Austin, or New York, or stickers if you live in hundreds of other cities and towns across North America.
When you buy a calendar, you're supporting my undying mission to bring squid to everyone. Did you know that squid have donut shaped brains? That their class, cephalopods, have been on earth for longer than TREES? That scientists estimate that there are literally millions of giant squid living in the deep sea?
People deserve to know about squid. Help me spread the word.
Phyllodesmium poindimiei
Deep Sea Threadfin Snailfish 🖤
These beauties live in depths of 1,080 - 2,365 m or 3,543 - 7,759 ft, although there have been some viewings of them above and below these parameters.
They are found in the Arctic, northeastern Atlantic, and northern Pacific oceans and grow to be about 31 cm or 12 in!

i keep forgetting to do this until im half asleep each night so this one is going to be a shorter one
i love deep sea creatures that just have the adaptation of more mouth 🥰 among those, the gulper eel is by far the most simultaneously horrifying and adorable and i love them a lot
every time they eat something i like to imagine them making a lil "nom" noise
