Someday, I dream of commissioning a sketch of a giant tardigrade sitting next to me in lab, with an arm or two over my shoulders. The tardigrade is my Patronus of getting through stress. They survived 5 global level extinctions, after all.

Wrapping up with one of my all time favorite critters


They’ve survived all five mass extinctions and are resilient AF (see thread).

I'm terrified that we're causing a serious, if veiled, environmental collapse for the past few decades. But I admit I'm fascinated by the concept of a natural apocalypse and mass extinctions. Here's my take on some of them from our past
