Repping our department today with our new shirts! The artwork was created by one of the first students I taught here @uncavl.bsky.social ☺️. I figure it is okay to wear a T-shirt to teach if it has bugs on it, right?

#SICB2025 Today is the day! If you want to hear about how tardigrades survive beyond lethal-to-humans levels of ionizing radiation (and if you are still here 😅), check out my talk today at 2 pm in room A707. Hope to see you there! #tardigrades

Continuing the tradition of playing hooky and taking a break from #SICB2025 to do something extra fun by taking my students to @georgiaaquarium.bsky.social today. We had a BLAST!

If you are at #SICB2025 and want to hear about cool tardigrade research from my amazing undergraduates, check out their poster this afternoon (P1-208)! #tardigrades #PUIScience

Scientific Achievement Unlocked! My science has been covered in @nytimes.com by @carlzimmer.bsky.social! He did a wonderful job highlighting these two recent papers that independently contribute to our understanding of the extreme radiation tolerance of tardigrades. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/12/s...
What Makes Tiny ‘Water Bears’ So Tough? They Quickly Fix Broken DNA.
New research finds that microscopic tardigrades are remarkably good at repairing their DNA after a huge blast of radiation.
