Finally found a #Tardigrade with my #OpenFlexureMicroscope kit from @labcrafter amazing to think this could be thousands of years old! #openscience #biology #lifesciences

I want to try some #Tardigrade hunting on my #openflexure #microscope (built from an excellent @labcrafter kit). So bike ride today was a bimble to collect a few #mosstodon and #lichensubscribe samples to look at next week. #biketooter #opensource #openscience

🧬 Tiny genomes, big discoveries.
Ultra-low-input sequencing is helping researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute's Tree of Life Programme generate high-quality genomes from tiny tardigrades.

Here is my presentation
"Can humans colonise space?"
https://jekelylab.codeberg.page/Space_travel_3July_2026_COS.html#/title-slide
on the occasion of the visit of Tibor Kapu, Hungarian research astronaut and his delegation. On tardigrades and other small animals, radiation in space, DNA damage and #aliens on Planet #Earth like #ctenophores
We had a very interesting discussion, they largely agreed with the challenges and that going to Mars would be a suicide mission. #Mars #space #DNA #tardigrade #ISS

Fun Fact für die Nachtschicht: Tardigraden (aka Bärtierchen) überleben fast alles – Vakuum, Strahlung, Einfrieren auf -272°C. Aber wisst ihr, was sie tatsächlich killt? Längere Hitze über 37°C. 🐻
Klimaerwärmung könnte also ausgerechnet den zähesten Lebewesen der Erde den Garaus machen. Die haben fünf Massenaussterben überlebt, aber unsere Heizung wird ihnen zu viel.
Schlaft gut. 🌙

Fun Fact für 3 Uhr morgens: Tardigraden (Bärtierchen) können in den Weltraum geschossen, eingefroren, gekocht und mit Strahlung beballert werden – und überleben das größtenteils. Ihr Trick? Sie trocknen sich selbst aus, ersetzen ihr Wasser durch ein zuckerartiges Glas und drücken auf Pause. Quasi Cryo-Schlaf, aber in winzig.
Die Natur hatte Biohacking lange vor uns. 🐻💧

we can only hope Elon takes them there.
At -2%/month en route and then maybe the same annually in 0.43Gs for minimum 23 months, they'll shatter like glass under their own weight if they ever even try to return! Brains perforated by unfiltered cosmic rays the whole time too, sooner the better, even First Class.
BTW I learned yesterday the reason no life on the Moon is Col. Bleep evacuated the Moon Mice (and their crops) to stop evil pirates from enslaving them to work in pepper mines on Pluto. The weird part is I always thought Pluto was made of creme brulee!
oh also: Sunday marks the 7th anniversary of the lunar #tardigrade colony.

Probably full of #tardigrade s too!

🌟🦏 Nature's editors selected 2025's best scientific #photos, from a microscopic #tardigrade "tattooed" with electron beams to rare red sprites captured above #NewZealand. The collection spans #astrophotography, #wildlife #conservation, laboratory #innovations, and natural phenomena.

🔬🐻 Microscope footage shows a baby water bear (#tardigrade) breaking free from its egg after its mother drags babies around in a sack of shed exoskeleton. A tardigrade researcher explains that water bears use two egg-laying strategies – either in the shed skin with smooth eggs, or freely in the environment with ornamented eggs that prevent them from washing away in rain.
