  2. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦐🚀 Scientists at the #Okayama University of #Science used a specialized high-speed spinning #machine to simulate weightlessness for kuruma shrimp and sea monkeys.

    The team observed that while the larger #shrimp needed mesh netting to steady themselves, the smaller brine shrimp thrived and grew normally over several days. The #research provides a look at how #future #astronauts might raise #aquaculture setups on the #Moon.
