Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Bdelloid rotifers are a microplankton that reproduce using parthenogenesis (female clones), but when environmental conditions become adverse (e.g. pond dries up), they can turn themselves into an extraordinaryly resistant inert "tun" through a process called cryptobiosis (like brine shrimp). Recently, Russian scientists thawed out

image/jpeg a series of 6 microscopic photos shows the revival of a dried inert form of a dark orange rotifer. The organism gradually extends into the adult form which is elongated with a pointed tail and ciliated mouthparts at the head. Stills from video taken by Christian Colin. http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/artsep08/wd-rotifer.html

Great RadioLab interview with Ella al-Shamahi, about her journey from religious anti-evolutionism into evolutionary biology. New perspective but also familiar if you (like me) grew up among Christian creationists; really moving on what faith, even "denialist" faith, means to people
