RE: A: Why are tardigrades not surviving "tun" state?
OMG. I never heard of this organism before. Looked it up and found it worthy of every grotesque fantasy cooked up by science fiction writers. I will have to follow your blog more closely :)
I'm glad you like them :)
Unfortunately, there are maybe 10 serious research groups in the whole world devoted to tardigrades.
Tardigrades are peaceful, they are hanging around for the last 500+ Million years, eating rotifers in such a cute way that I used to become hungry by watching them.
Once I finally establish myself at the new institute (stupid visa...) I think I'll start working with them as a sort of hobby.
Indeed it would be really cool to find new species and name some of them after Steemit :D
Cute!! :))
