This video was made in collaboration with Benedikt Pleyer, who is a gifted microscopist and has a wonderful contagious passion for discovering the incredible worlds that exist all around us. He has introduced me to all sorts of new creatures and I am fortunate to have met him.

Kita Williams reached out to me almost a year ago with her amazing Tardigrade footage, and I am so happy that she did. She has a knack for capturing these animals in way that gives them so much personality!

Bob Goldstein runs a lab at UNC Chapel Hill and has done incredible work on the Tardigrade (and much more.) He was kind enough to review my work to make sure I didn't screw the science up too much! I wish I could have included more of his work on the evolution of Tardigrades - but I hope to do that in a future episode on arthropods.

Jerry deserves a raise for all the effort he put into making those models.
-
Poor Jerry, all he's trying to do is expand his artistic repertoire by creating those delightfully weird looking models. "No we can't sell that as merch Jerry" ... aw darn, I would have happily paid for Jerry's delectable work of art, who else is with me?

I'm a biologist and this: "Intrinsically Disordered Proteins don't have a defined shape and are Floppy Floppy like cooked spaghetti. These seem to act almost like Styrofoam packing noodles, holding organelles in place and making sure things don't stick together as the cell shrinks" --what a genius explanation

Hello there I am Sørensen-Hygum, coauthor of one of the papers you cite. I just want to say that I am very happy and impressed with your video. It is a really great feeling to see my research become part of an educational youtube video. I am really proud of that scanning electron micrograph of Echiniscoides sigismundi and seeing it reproduced makes me happy.

we don’t know when he’ll appear but he never disappoints
-
"Masturbation with consequences" Never change.
-
As a design student, putting a scale bar that just says "small" is aspirational. You do you, Jerry. You know how to save time, Jerry.
-
"Moss Piglet", The cutest and most docile sounding animal name ever.
-
can you do "True Facts: Jerry" just so you can make a whole video about him
-
"Science isn't a style of photography, Jerry." That's a genuinely fantastic quote. Much like this entire episode.
-
“It looks like a galaxy.” Wait,,, Is our whole universe a water bear’s poop???
-
I just watched like 10 of these videos about tardigrades and none of them explained a damn thing about how they do what they do, this video answered every single question I had while also being hilarious. Thank you for this. I'm officially a huge fan. Keep up the good work!
-
Jerry is getting more creative. We should encourage him, unlike David.
-
We need a True Facts: Jerry at this point.

"imagine having doritos each individually wrapped in glass and trying to eat it... well the tardigrade doesnt give a crap"
-
Oh man, echidna's gonna be thrilled that there are new members of the "having your back legs on backwards" club lol
