What the world needs now are tardigrades, sweet tardigrades.

'A tiny world' is a fun little internet window into the microscope with Julie Laurin, who lives in Ottowa, Ontario.

They recently set up a Twitch feed with some adorable little tardigrades that Julie collected during a recent rainstorm. Check 'em out!

Good morning! Here's a little Tardigrade that I collected in a sample of balcony water yesterday. :)@tardigradopedia pic.twitter.com/hwcC0cOMxv

Another lockdown science challenge: if you live in an apartment, go out to your balcony and collect some of the water that gathers in the concrete grooves. This is where my tardigrades live. Can you find some on your balcony, too?#balconychallenge #science https://t.co/iCwDkGnR0h
