Brett Grasse lovingly calls the Cephalopod Operations division at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) the “cephalopod empire.” The lab in Woods Hole, Massachusetts houses roughly 2,000 to 3,000 cephalopods—likely the largest collection of cephalopods of any research laboratory. And it’s possible that one day, these creatures will be as ubiquitous in labs as mice or fruit flies.
