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.

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬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.

Writer Fuel: How Water Bears Mate
Editor's Note: Regular readers of this column know we never pass up the chance to share a story about our beloved water bears. :) For the first time, scientists have figured out how tardigrades — some of the toughest creatures on the planet — mate. These tiny, hardy critters have few obvious differences between males...
