Scientists revived a female microscopic roundworm that spent the last 46,000 years in suspended animation deep in the Siberian permafrost. It started having babies in a laboratory dish. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2023/07/27/nematode-revived-siberian-permafrost/

Definitely the opening scene of a grim movie. 🧪🐙 Worth sharing a gift link: https://wapo.st/3qbjUhF

I hope they can freeze me and bring me back in 46,000 years.

Could we not though?

Looks like a melatonin night!

this is NOT GOOD

Great science, bad news. (It doesn't help that roundworms and threadworms give me the creeps!)

What the what - hell no

This is how the world ends.

I for one welcome our new worm overlords

It's also the model for the Threads logo.
