#squidtember

I'm a squid biologist on a mission

To bring squid facts to you. To your friends. To your neighbors. To some random dude named Brad who you've never met.

How? The Squid Facts Project. It's a street art campaign and hotline that texts folks squid facts!

Only snag in this hair-brained plan is that texting people is kiiinda expensive. So! I teamed up with Philly artist Corey Danks to sell shirts to keep the hotline running. Every one of those shirt dollars helps deliver squid facts to people.

Like, over 70,000 people over the last year!!! Isn't that wild?

So anyway. Get a shirt. They're cool, *and* they keep people learning about squid. It's a beautiful thing.

Also, the backs have the squid facts hotline on them so by wearing these you're helping people learn about squid too.

If you can't buy one, give us a reblog. I run a small science education nonprofit called Skype a Scientist, we're scrappy but trying so hard!!

Squid mermaids/ cecaelians for Squidtember. I tried to go for a different type of design than I usually would, & I think they turned out pretty cute.

A gorgeous little Bobtail Squid for #Squidtember (which I didn't realize was a thing until, like, three days ago)! You can see the inspiration reference and learn more about these sweet babies at the Ocean Conservancy website. https://oceanconservancy.org/blog/2019/07/02/bobtail-squid-might-cutest-thing-ocean/
