A shameless plug for an upcoming science fiction epic: it will feature narwhals, neural hacking, uncanny wearable computers, and mayhem on the ice. And it will be told in tweets.

Narwhals don't go to graduate school, and they're not much use as grant-writers. But they're able to do a few things oceanographers find challenging�such as dive to depths of nearly six thousand feet beneath the ice of Baffin Bay in winter. So scientists have enlisted them in gathering climate-change data in the Greenland Current.
