DeSciNYC: the science of waterbears

​Water bears, or tardigrades, are microscopic creatures renowned for their resilience. These eight-legged marvels can survive extreme conditions, from the vacuum of space to boiling heat and freezing cold, by entering a cryptobiotic state. Found in diverse environments like moss, soil, and even deep-sea trenches, their unique biology holds promising insights for space exploration, biotechnology, and understanding life’s limits. Join us to uncover the secrets of these fascinating micro-animals and their extraordinary adaptations.

Presented by: DeSciNYC, Stadium Science, Solana, $Waterbear, and $SciHub.
