Octopods are among the smartest beings on Earth. They have three hearts, their blood is blue, they’re masters of camouflage despite not seeing color… But the most fascinating aspect of cephalopod anatomy is their distributed brain. Come listen to Mikołaj Golachowski, an expert with Focus magazine and octopus aficionado, who will discuss the incredible capabilities of these brilliant animals. The upcoming issues of Focus will bring you more octopus facts; the magazine, one of the patrons of the festival, will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year.

Mikołaj Golachowski, PhD—doctor of natural sciences specializing in ecology and behavioral ecology. A traveler and polar researcher, he has participated in Arctic expeditions and now works there as a tour guide.
