This little fella is a #tardigrade and I absolutely adore how chubby it is with it's eight little legs. Slowly floating through space - umm I mean a water droplet.

@dialogcrm.bsky.social That #tardigrade shaped trophy may be the best looking science trophy ever.
@kidskylark Thank you so much! You motivate me while producing the next episode after the too long pause.
As for #science, I watched too much Dr Who and timey wimey stuff. Therefore, I use a micro-macro-amplifyer to interview ants or bacteria.
Don't tell it to reputable #scientists.
My next guest will be a #tardigrade ...
Oh I've been bit out there. Doing things and.. Out.
But here's a #art I've made. It's #tardigrade . Scottish tardigrad.
Somehow talking with my sister from another parents gave me this idea.

as I recall, this coming Saturday is the sixth anniversary of the first #Tardigrade colony on the moon. Just sayin'.
WRITER FUEL: Teeny tardigrades can survive space and lethal radiation. Scientists may finally know how, and it could help in devising better protection for astronauts on long missions.
If you could interview a tardigrade, what would you like to know?
ed: You are fantastic! Thanks to all for these inspiring great questions.
I'll ask the tardigrade, of course! I'm still waiting for the confirmation from my chubby interview partner. We'll talk also about their sex life, so the episode could be prohibited in a big country for too much diversity and #biodiversity.
February's sticker club design: a tardigrade!
It's a parody of the NASA insignia, cuz they do be shootin' these lil fellers into space. They're actually quite fragile, and not true extremophiles! They just try their best and fall asleep in stressful climates. Be nice to them.
Hey you!
Yes, you!
I want to show you something:
This is a #tardigrade / water bear / moss piglet, drawn by @nelson (It was a pleasure commissioning him! You can do the same at https://ko-fi.com/c/752498f318)

This particular tardigrade wishes you a good day & says #FightFascism, #ProtectTransLives and #AmorVincitOmnia!
New species of tardigrade reveals secrets of radiation-resisting powers. Scientists sequenced the genome of this new species and identified thousands of genes that become more active when exposed to radiation. These processes point to a sophisticated defence system that involves protecting DNA from the damage that radiation causes and repairing any breaks that do occur. #waterbear #tardigrade #water #wastewater #genetics #DNA https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03484-1
