…the stereo- type of scientists' being scruffy nerds with rows of pens in their top pocket isjust about as wicked as racist stereotypes."
…a fairly common pattern in television news: right at the end a smile comes onto the face of the newsreader and this is the scientific joke—'some scientist has proved that such and such is the case.' … And it's clearly the bit of fun at the end, it's not serious at all. I want science to be taken seriously, because, after all, it's less ephemeral—it has a more eternal aspect than whatever the politics of the day might be, which, of course, gets the lead in the news.

I always thought the classic squid was Architeuthis. You know, giant squid 'monster' eating ships and the like.
