Dr. Hajar Tukur (OHMO Research Fellow 2023, Oli Health... Magazine Organization) presented our research at the 11th Evolving Practice of Ophthalmology Middle East Conference (EPOMEC). The presentation was titled “The Impact of Traumatic Brain Injury on Visual Processing: A Neuro-Ophthalmological Perspective,” and it highlighted the critical link between brain injury and vision, aiming to advance awareness, research, and clinical approaches in this important field.show more

BREAKING: Sept 2025 Gulf Of America, the Largest Octopus... Ever Discovered! Marine biologists announced the discovery of what is believed to be the largest octopus ever recorded, found deep within the Gulf of America. The specimen, measuring over 45 feet across with tentacles spanning the length of a city bus, was documented by a joint research expedition led by the Gulf Marine Institute and international oceanographers. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime discovery," said Dr. Elena Vargas, lead marine biologist on the expedition. "The octopus exhibits features unlike any we've cataloged before, suggesting an entirely new subspecies adapted to the shifting currents and ecological changes of the Gulf." Could you imagine swimming in the ocean and running into this creature?show more

Daniil Medvedev hits a Daniil Medvedev passing shot against... Rinderknech in Shanghai. Rublev was so right to call him an Octopus. He was nowhere near that ball, but with the wave of his tentacle, he sends it back with perfect placement. Only Meddy. 🐙show more

Your early feedback will be super helpful as we continue developing! 🙏 Blog:show more

What’s goin on here? Wrong answers only. 🎥: mr.seaoctopus/IG... ⬇️ 👅 Octopus improve their sense of taste, smell, and grip on objects by twirling their arms and exfoliating the outer most layer of their suckers! 💅 Yup— just like you have nails to protect your fingers, octopus have a chitinous cuticle (pronounced ky-ti-nuhs) - which is a special layer of skin that protects their each and every brilliant sucker they have! 😬 You’d think that octos crawling over rocks and pokey sea urchins would be the equivalent of us stepping on a Lego — but nope, dem suckers are protected! 🔘🔒 Unlike fingernails though, octopus don’t wait for them to grow out quite like we do — they activate a spin cycle and shed off these little discs of skin revealing a brand new protective cuticle underneath! 🧠 Whelp, now you know! 🐙💅 If ya read this far comment “spin cycle!” And let us know if the way we explain things helps you understand these squishy beauties more! 🤩 ➡️ Ur OctoIQ 🐙📈🏆 🎶: @ainsworththemusician/IGshow more

Hobotnica ispod peke 📍 Dalmatia, Croatia 🇭🇷 ⭐ 4.2... 📸 Šarićevi Dvori Hobotnica ispod peke is a popular Dalmatian dish made by slowly cooking a whole octopus in its juices inside a big, traditional, bell-shaped cooking vessel called peka, placed in an outdoor fireplace. Olive oil is sometimes added in order to moisten the octopus, while red or white wine can be added to speed up the cooking process. Potatoes, onions, carrots, tomatoes, and bell peppers are usually cooked together with the octopus, making this a practical one-pot meal.show more
