Cosmos revisited
Looking forward to tonight's show. Dr. Tyson is a great presenter and filming has come a long way in the last twenty years.
The commercials they are showing have little clips of Tardigrades -- I hope they spend some time with them. I love the little critters and they have a
fascinating biology. We have them up here but you need a microscope to really explore them. Love the
warning from this website:
Please note the following mental and health risks: in some case addictive behaviour towards tardigrades has been noted. And, even worse, young people showed an increased interest in non-commercial, zoological and even philosophical topics. As a rule excited readers can be successfully calmed down by means of scholarly biology lectures, e.g. featuring the properties of Allium cepa or the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Please be warned that it might be unwise to mention tardigrades in presence of those biology teachers who have never heard of them. We do not want to be held responsible for nervous breakdowns or any other possible consequences that might be caused by tardigrade mentioning.
