neuroscientist discovers octopuses have better rave potential than grad students

A neuroscientist apparently decided the scientific frontier wasn't studying octopus intelligence—it was observing their behavior while chemically enhanced, because baseline cephalopod weirdness wasn't sufficient. Bioneers, always three degrees left of mainstream science journalism, decided this was promotional material worthy of their platform. The beautiful absurdity is that this might actually be real research dressed up as a fever dream. Peak 'grant money was spent on this' energy.
