I fully expected to click on the article and see zero videos of them walking. Not because I didn’t think tardigrades walk but because science articles often lack media for whatever reason. Kudos to sciencealert
- darknavi 5y ago> Tardigrades went for a walk and you'll never guess what happened next!
- johnwheeler 5y agoMy point is, even with titles like that, there’s usually no media.
- mbreese 5y agoIt’s hard because the default medium for science communication is a journal article. We’re getting better at including more video when appropriate. But even then unless you can quantify something, it’s hard to analyze, so most figures end up being data plots instead of images or video. It’s funny, because even for a paper like this where the foundational data of the study are videos of tardigrades walking, the videos are still listed in the publication as supplementary material!
