A big thank you to everyone who participated in the naming contest. We loved seeing your ideas, enthusiasm, and sense of humor throughout the process. Your votes helped give a little more personality to the octopus that's been helping bioprocess scientists tackle complexity with all eight arms.

Watch the video below to see the big name reveal!
