Did you ever gild #moss? I did! Look behind the scenes of producing my podcast episode about moss and how moss took revenge (I don't know why): steadyhq.com/en/naturematchcut Of course you can listen to the episode now! And I interviewed a quite seditious tardigrade!
Just search #NatureMatchCuts on your podcatcher.

2/2 BTW, my interview guest got grumpy. I never experienced such a cuddly person and so grumpy. But she has a great message for humans!

'Imagine a human being downsized to our mighty body size, having to find prey in a watery environment, while connecting all your ganglions with your brain and your body has only about 1.000 cells! Wouldn't you be wobbly, too?' Mrs Tardy in my coming #NatureMatchCuts episode. I love her. #tardigrades

Was selbst ihr Nerds vielleicht noch nicht über Bärtierchen wusstet. (Plus eine etwas überlange Einleitung über die halbe Evolutionsgeschichte, aber speichert dieses Wissen, solange es noch verfügbar ist.)

"A piglet wrapped in an enormous duvet" - I'm just sitting at the interview with this fascinating person, suddenly she cries Yabba dabba doo! - her species won the Guardian #Invertebrate Of The Year contest! 🎉 "They are gloriously independent animals. They don’t need us half as much as we need them." theguardian.com/commentisfree/
Should I ask her what she thinks about the article?

The very first drawing of a tardigrade by Goeze in 1773 shows a bear-like creature with 4 pairs of clawed legs.
