#Tardigrades are remarkable organisms! And we were intrigued by the possibility of borrowing their #desiccation-tolerance strategy for #cell-free systems🧪
We tested PrCAHS1 protein as potential protector against drying damage in #lysates. Our goal: make #CFES easier to store and access! Link below:

Ice fragment vaguely shaped like a Tardigrade. You might not see it, but I do. And what is "alt text" for, if not to help other people see what can be seen by some people and not by others? That is what I am telling myself anyway. Watermark identifying photographer as Geneviève Laurin.
"Ice, ice, Tardi"
I spy, with my little eye, an ice Tardigrade!
I know, I have a vivid imagination. But honestly, things are more fun that way!

Tardigrades Eagerly Await the Great Nematode Migration In an almost unbelievable scene reminiscent of the famous salmon runs of the American West, where Brown Bears wait for an unsuspecting meal to leap into their mouths, I discovered something incredible last night while peering through my microscope. Tardigrades, also known as water bears, also apparently reenact this scene in miniature: Nematodes (aka roundworms) while wiggling and thrashing amid the wild waters of the Petri dish, thrust themselves into the air, and into the waiting claws and stylets of the hungry water bears. Of course, the scale of this natural wonder is minute, which is why it was only discovered recently, on this very April First. Image features a river rapids scene with two GIANT tardigrades waiting for similarly huge nematodes, which are wiggling out of the water. At the top there are large images of a nematode and a tardigrade.
I made an UNBELIEVABLE discovery while hunting for Tardigrades. Wow!

Tap, tap, tap...it's been a minute, but I am at #ASB2026 and giving a talk this afternoon and have 3 students presenting posters. Check us out if you like learning about how tardigrades survive DNA damaging events. #tardigrades #Radiotolerance #DNAdamage

The #crabapple #tree needed a bit of a pruning today. I was focused for most of the project! 😂 This #Robin came along to remind us that there were a few good apples left! #SmallBirdSaturday #HotStickSaturday #Lichen #Tardigrades #TreeLove #VT

Water bears on Mars: Wrinkly, kind of oval-shaped creature with no eyes and 6 stubby legs with claws.
You’ve probably heard of #tardigrades - better known as water bears. Now, a new study from researchers suggests they could one day help astronauts survive on Mars. Read how at: buff.ly/GDh3Gr1

Water bear (Tardigrade) facts: 1. Water dwelling, eight-legged micro-animals 2. Their size is about 0.5 mm (0.02") 3. They can be found literally anywhere 4. Withstand temps from 1K to 420 K (-272°C to 150°C) 5. Withstand pressures from vacuum to bottom of oceans 6. Can live without food & water for 30+ years 7. Withstand 5000Gray of radiation (humans die at 5Gray) 8. Withstand environmental toxins 9. Born with all cells, cells don't divide, they just expand 10. Have existed for 530 million years. A microphoto of a water bear above
Missing is that #tardigrades can survive the vacuum of #space for up to 10 days.
Water bear don’t care about human extinction.
Nature’s most perfect creature!
Because of all that? Yes + it doesn’t think much = no drama
😃

Les #tardigrades sont particulièrement connus car ils auraient des pouvoirs de #super-héros. Mais sont-ils vraiment invincibles ? 💪
La vidéo explicative juste ici 👉 youtu.be/ISPdK9ZIX24
D'après l'article du Muséum : "Qu'est-ce qu'un tardigrade ?" www.mnhn.fr/fr/qu-est-ce...

Tardies are the best! Here’s one we found in roof gunk (building manager cleaned the gutters and saved some for me 🤣). In the longer version, you can hear my daughter and I squeee

A slideshow about tardigrades and how to find them
In happier news, I presented a “Lunch with a Naturalist” talk about #tardigrades at Wargo Nature Center. It was a blast, and I brought demonstration tardigrades with to show off.🔬

Some wheat biscuits, pale yellow and brown, in the shape of tardigrade organisms. They are coated with a light dusting of sugar
Tardigrade biscuits, as eaten yesterday at the Anglian Microscopy Group meeting, fit to celebrate an eight-legged solstice.
