At a humming factory in the Spanish town of O Carballino, workers sling dozens of limp octopuses into a metal cauldron, wincing as strings of slime splatter their aprons.

Juan de Dios Castillo, covered in flour and sweat, pulled a crisp roll from the cooling rack and weighed it on an old metal scale: 60 grams (2 ounces).

The glasses haven’t gone anywhere. And they aren’t going anywhere. The same goes for Stephen Nedoroscik’s hair, which remains a bit of a floppy, curly brown mess.

Harvard University professor Alberto Ascherio’s research is literally frozen.
