    "I see you. I see all those who men call monsters.
    And I see the men who call them that. Call themselves heroes, of course.

    In this paper the authors used barcoding to figure out which #polyp (sedentary) and #medusa (swimming) life stages of several #hydrozoans (related to #sea #jellies and sea #anemones) belong to each other.
