I want to learn about squids like you when I grow up. I wish I had a real pet squid that lived in a big aquarium tank in my room. I would be so happy to work with you. I wish I was a grown-up now. I hope that you can find all the stuff about giant squid. I hope you don't quit! From, Alec Pitney Dear Dr. Clyde Roper,

Laffan and I am 9 years old. Do you know how we don't have much experience on Giant Squid? Do you know how we tie cameras to dolphins? I was thinking that we could tie a camera on a sperm whale. They are around Giant Squid a lot. I hope this helps. Please write back. Claire Laffan PS - I want to be a marine biologist when I grow up. Dear Dr.Clyde Roper,

I was fortunate to get a chance to interview Dr. Roper last time he was at the lab. I hope to have some post-preso summary, maybe some pics. FWIW, Carl Zimmer is coming later in the lecture series, in March. Doubt there will be any live feed. I was fortunate to get a chance to interview Dr. Roper last time he was at the lab.
