What If an Octopus Was Your Teacher? - with Pippa Ehrlich

What do we really know about octopuses? For starters, they don't have 8 tentacles...they're called arms. Did you know they had 3 hearts? 9 brains? And that some people believe they aren't originally from Earth? If you've been lucky enough to catch the Netflix documentary "My Octopus Teacher”, then you also know they are capable of so much more than spraying ink. Join Peter and Richard as they welcome Pippa Ehrlich, the director of "My Octopus Teacher”. Together they take a deep dive in the kelp forests of Southern Africa and get a lesson or two from one of the most fascinating creatures on Earth. Show notes: Join hosts Peter Schmiedchen and Richard Garner with some of the world’s top thinkers in science, astronomy, technology, academia and futurism to ponder some of your most popular What If videos.
