Found living all around the world, the little tardigrade can survive some pretty extreme environments. But how is it able to live in a vast range of environments, especially extreme ones? And what could these mechanisms for survival mean for other areas of research like medicine and astrobiology? On this week's episode, host Allison Lamoureux dives into the world of the tardigrade - how it survives these extremes and the potential research applications it has for other science disciplines.
