Join Science Friday Educate for a Cephalopod Week LIVE Q&A with scientist Dr. Gregory Barord, a chambered nautilus expert! Come with your curiosity—we’ll be taking your questions in the YouTube livestream chat. Learners of every age are welcome!
The chambered nautilus may not be as famous as its octopus and squid relatives, but it’s just as remarkable. These ancient animals have survived for hundreds of millions of years, navigating the ocean with buoyant, spiral-shaped shells. Today, they face growing threats from overharvesting, habitat disruption, and a changing ocean.
Learn more about Dr. Gregory Barord's work to raise awareness about the nautilus, its precarious future, and the research needed to help protect the species at savethenautilus.com
