Tardigrades are some of the world's most amazing creatures. Some species are able to survive extremely low temperatures, high salinity, droughts, and even the vacuum of space for long periods of time. And yet, they seem to be everywhere, even in the moss of your nearest park. So we're going to investigate the biology of this sturdy survivor while we try to observe our very own tardigrades in our home lab.
