Thankful to my new host mentor Dr. Yuka Iwasaki for her inspiring expertise, and to Dr. Kazuharu Arakawa for his continued guidance and support in tardigrade (クマムシ) research. 日々「努力あるのみ」で、全力で頑張ります！

Same 😢 and I don't even study worms 😔

Thank you for the feature !! 💧🐻🧠🔬🧬🙏🙏🙏

Also supported/inspired by co-author & UCSF tardigrade-neuro advisor Saul Kato @focolab.bsky.social & grateful to mentorship from Sae Tanaka (tardigrade transgenics visionary), @girlsinscience.bsky.social @jasnir.bsky.social & support from @mblscience.bsky.social @grassfoundation.bsky.social 🙏

Thank you !!! I'm an author; please follow for more tardi-breaking neuro news! 🗞️ 🤩🙏

And this is hurting the most at-need, early-stage scientists and community members the most 💔

This is truly catastrophic for all NSF PRFB fellow who literally cannot draw monthly stipends or research funds now. And it reads as a full "stop work" directive for all "broadening participation" fellows. I am a recent fellow and all active fellows are DISTRESSED

I'm so sorry; solidarity

I fear it's too late 😭😭😭 I'm so sorry to everyone impacted by this. It's simply unacceptable and cruel to treat junior scientist this way.

I am so sorry...but those tardigrades did not survive that crash 😔🙏
