Normal is boring, so let’s take things to the extreme with “Tardi-Gras” the first Drink & Think of 2023, where we’ll be exploring tardigrades and other extremophiles, the true lovers of the extreme! From radioactivity to the vacuum of space, we’ll be diving into the science behind these creatures’ extreme endurance in some of the harshest conditions. Don’t worry, we won’t have to travel to Antarctica, outer space, or even Bourbon St. to find these ultimate survivors since some members of the species live right here in our thermal spring water—and even in our beer!
