Conference season is gearing up! Are you getting ready for the **dreaded** #postersession with no clue where to start? Look no further! I had the opportunity to (re)design both some of my colleagues' + my own posters that haunted me. No more! Here to that 2β£0β£2β£4β£ glowup. (1/3)

Ecology explains anhydrobiotic performance across #tardigrades, but the shared evolutionary history matters more https://t.co/3HpPSIcmyj

π¨ New paper! π¨ @pittaro90, @DanielStec91 and others describe the ARI, a measure of #anhydrobiosis in #tardigrades, and analyze factors that affect survival in these microorganisms Check out the blog post and the paper published in @AnimalEcology

The accessories came out of my paper!! The key charm of Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus embryo and the earrings of Macrobiotus shonaicus spermatozoa with shortened tails (the form for fertilizing!!). Thank you @hayato_rc !!

Male and female tardigrades are indistinguishable, so how do they tell the sexes apart? @ChartrainJusti1 shows that female tardigrades can smell both sexes, hanging out with both, but males ignore other males and are only attracted to the scents of females https://t.co/bg0AB3rySS

I am so excited tell you that @ChartrainJusti1's tardigrade work is out in the world in @J_Exp_Biol. ππ» She has spent over 2 years developing the protocol to make this paper a reality! Give this work some love & read about sex + chem. cues in the cutest microorganisms around!

Yet another superpower that (some!) #tardigrade species have: survival to many repeated freeze-thaw events. Wanna know why? Check out our new OA paper: https://t.co/aajpGnw4So. Led by Dr Krzys Zawierucha and @pittaro90. @jyuscience #karhukainen

Tardigrades are tiny animals famous for being among the toughest organisms on the planet. Researchers of @uniofjyvaskyla have described a new species and reported a new incredible survival skill in another one of these mighty creatures: https://t.co/rNt3NFrgx6

Water bear, moss piglet, tardigradeβwhatever the name, they're all around us. Anywhere there's a thin film of water, there may be tardigrades. Including ones that are new to science. Introducing the fifth hakaiensis species! @RbcmHydroids @pittaro90

Intercontinental collaboration, curiosity, and chance lead to a tardigrade discovery and a new hakaiensis species.
