Here is a 3D printed hybrid of myself and a tardigrade. We call this a #TardiDoc. It makes me happy. #MicrobialEvangelist #MicrobialCentrism #Tardigrade @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @microbe.tv

During every recording of #MattersMicrobial, I have a #TardiDoc #PodcastPal. #MicrobialEvangelist #MicrobiologyPodcast @asmicrobiology @univpugetsound @microbetv.bsky.social

I guess it makes sense. Portrayal of yours truly as a #TardiDoc by @vexedmuddler.bsky.social

Hmmmm.... My secret is out. #TardiDoc Artwork by @vexedmuddler.bsky.social

Just hanging out with my #Tardidoc: a fusion between a tardigrade and yours truly. #Tardigrade #Microbiology @univpugetsound @asmicrobiology

Handing out #TardiDoc 3D printed figures to my #Bio350 #Micronauts next week. I hope that the students will send me annotated photos of their TardiDocs from wherever they go or do when they have a chance. Here are two of mine, from Ireland. I may create an Instagram page for #TravelinTardigrades

@jennifer.j.quinn is making #TardiDoc prints for my #Bio350 course next week! #Micronauts #TardigradeArmy

When I do my podcast, I like to have mascots on the microphone boom. I need to switch out the GIANTmicrobes keychain often, but the #TardiDoc is always there. Yes, I am silly, but I am genuine in my viewpoint: I want to have fun and be enthusiastic about new things.

My brilliant and beautiful Jennifer Quinn made it happen with this #TardiDoc

You do not have a #TardiDoc!

I *represent* at the West Coast Bacterial Physiology conference. #TardiDoc #MattersMicrobial.

I really do like this 3D printing filament. #TardiDoc

Awesome new 3D tardigrade print. Well, it’s a #TardiDoc, actually.

The #TardiDoc Army is growing for #Microbe this month! I will be bringing 50 of them. If you say “hi” while I still have them, I will give you one…as long as you tag me, #TardiDoc, and show your #TardiDoc’s travels! @univpugetsound @ASMicrobiology

A #TardiDoc pencil/inoculating loop/plate spreader holder.

A glow in the dark #TardiDoc.

A small #TardiDoc.

Experimenting with #TardiDoc 3D printed sculptures.  This one is for @Manu__Ramalho .  It can hold pencils, pens, inoculating loops, or plate spreaders very stylishly.
