    FINALLY! I was able to capture a waterbear! These creatures are fucking fantastic, read more about them here. These motherfuckers are some of the most resilient forms of life that we know. You put these fuckers into space and they won't give a fuck.

  3. What Makes Tiny #Tardigrades Nearly #Radiation Proof
    New research finds that the microscopic “#waterbears" are remarkably good at repairing their #DNA after a huge blast of radiation. Tardigrades turn out to be masters of molecular repair, able to quickly reassemble piles of shattered DNA. Recent studies found that some species of tardigrades can withstand a dose of radiation 1,400 times higher than what’s required to kill a person.

  5. @SchrodingersTardigrade Oh come on you can't manipulate me into following hashtags about #waterbears now, as well as all the #moss and #lichen ones!

    I mean, you can, because I have no life - But it's not fair!

  6. @MarcusStensmyr @frankashwood We are trying. Getting tardigrade samples is a bottleneck. Developing a good #vEM sample prep protocol is likely to be another. But I'm game.
